ABOUT ME
Working as a medical courier for the German airline Lufthansa I travel to worldwide destinations and especially the US nearly every week.
I was getting tired of hotel life when a friend recommended couch surfing. Sometimes my bookings can be a bit short notice as in this job we find out very late when and where the next trip will take us but so far all my visits have turned out great. Sometimes I use airbnb.com as well. Either way...it has been such a treat to get to know places & people this way. Important is that I have a safe place for my laptop & medical case so I can return it to the company in one piece.
I am half Canadian so even though I grew up in Germany my English is fluent and will ensure clear communication. After my delivery to the local hospitals I usually have a 3-5 day stay which is my free time to chill and enjoy the destinations.
As these trips are actually "business" I am quite relaxed on the money side. If there is a chance of an airport pick-up...I'd much rather fuel up my hosts car than waste the money on a cab. I am always happy to chip in to the grocery bills, get loads of goodies to wine & dine and make it a win-win situation for guest and host equally.
I'm an easy going, open minded, friendly and independent traveler looking for more than the boring hotel atmosphere on my travels.
Now that we have moved to our beautiful new spacious penthouse appartment we finally have the chance to have guests stay comfortably and return some hosting to the community.
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
On the go most of the time...but on my home days and now with our new appartment we can welcome guests and experience the hosting part of couchsorfing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far it has been great way to experience places surrounded by people who know what's going on.
Now it will be great to return this and help people visiting Frankfurt have a great stay.
Interests
Exchanging wnowledge , nature, traveling & doing things out of the ordinary.
Music, Movies, and Books
Mainly electro beats but any other good sounds & styles are welcome. I don't take much time to watch movies...documentaries are more my thing. On my flights I usually try to sleep but have managed to squeeze in 4 movies. That kind of keeps me up to date.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Diving with whale sharks in Malaysia.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share my impressions of places I have been to and hope to learn about the places I will be staying at from my hosts.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Travel experiences, happy times, good food & drinks :-)
