CURRENT MISSION

meeting people who think a bit outside of the box and seizing the opportunity to "travel" whenever I am not able to actually do it ;)

ABOUT ME

Hmmm...I just enjoy music, movies (and I very often try to turn my life into one, which is not always a good idea;)) and good conversations :)
I grew up in a small now near Bremen. I lived in the United States for 2 years and in France for 2 years as well, however, always eventually returning to a small town in East-Westpahlia, called Bielefeld (yes, it does exist, despite the conspiracy and maybe because of it, it is so charming as very warm, fun and at times eccentric people settle here :).
So, in case you stop by here or miss a train connection or whatever other curious coincidence might bring you here, swing by my place or downtown and we can hang out :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly, I would like to meet people, show them the city and make them feel home here.
I have a very small apartment, but it's very cosy, so on occasion, I can host someone if he/she does not mind the lack of privacy. In general however, I am more game for hanging out outside of the apartment as it does get claustrophobic ;)

Interests

okay just to warn you already - I love games (cards, party games, board games), but I'd never force anyone (I might try to persuade you though ;)).

Eating. Sleeping. Music, music, music. Cinema. Netflix.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee Jumping in San Diego.

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich took me up on stage in a concert in Bremen when I was about 9.

I played princess Diana in Sue Townsend's "The Queen and I". I didn't die on stage.

I survived in French administration (barely ;))

I drove a taxi through the West Bank, almost getting into trouble for driving too fast.
