ABOUT ME

- crazy
- funny (regarding to Mary Poppins "I love to laugh...")
- sportive (handball; dancing: ballroom, latin-america, tap dance; snowboard, skiing, swimming, riding horseback,...)
- music: play saxophone & piano, singing
- loving animals (except for spiders!!!)
- loving good discussions

I love to enjoy life with all it's possibilities which means everything from sports, music to watching movies, talking, cooking, eating, etc. :-)

AND: anybody who is again calling me "Maria", won't get an answer or even a couch - it can't be that difficult, to read my name correctly!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only used it once a few years ago, when I took part in a saxophone workshop in Seligenstadt (Germany).
Because of my studies it was really difficult to host somebody at my small place... (and also, because often some friends come over and stay there)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

until now I have only one (really good) experience - 2009 I stayed at Sebastians place in Seligenstadt near Frankfurt for one night, which was a fantastic experience!

Interests

nearly all kind of sports (handball, basketball, west coast swing, dancing ballroom, riding horseback, slackline, climbing, swimming, surfing, skiing, snowboarding,...), playing the saxophone or piano, singing, laughing, reading, cooking, listening to music - basically just having fun!!!
