Germany.
Just trying to live a positively interesting and "normal" life.
Wanna know more about me?
Just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of saving money on accommodations while getting an "insider's" point of view + tips. I also like the idea of being able to offer the same to others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching my sassy, intelligent, and fun niece grow from the moment she was born (which was an incredible thing to witness) until now. It amazes me how much children learn and perceive from their surroundings.

Backpacking for three months in South America (Chile, Peru, Argentina and Uruguay for this trip)!

Teach, Learn, Share

I, like all people, am a fountain of information. I would love to teach/share what I know. Additionally, I would love to learn and listen to others.
