I'm a woman approaching my fifties with two children, two dogs, two cats, two fishes and one companion. I work parttime teaching German and English to gifted teenagers. I am very dedicated to my family and don't go out much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As we have a spacious guestroom, and I enjoy having people coming and going in the house, it seems obvious to me to open up my doors to couchsurfing. I would also like to make use of travelling this way myself. I like the concept of giving and taking in the couchsurfing community.
