About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi! I´m spontaneous and open-minded, I love travelling and making new experiences. I spent my twenties and thirties in Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt...), Spain (Vigo, Santiago de Compostela) and the UK (Liverppol). Currently moving regularly between Vigo, Berlin and Kiel - and happy to meet new people in any of these places!.

I love nature and big cities, the coast and the mountains, learning and being creative, reading and writing, board games and hiking. Looking forward to meeting you!

PHILOSOPHY

You can't wait for life to be easy before you start enjoying it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As host and guest, all couchsurfing experiences have been very positive! Some of my fondest memories are a campfire at a beach in Wales, putting 4 Canadian cyclist (and their bikes) in my ridiculous tiny student flat in Liverpool, moving from house to house in Australia, and hosting a couchsurfer I met in Australia a few years later in Berlin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A two months boat trip to Greenland!

Teach, Learn, Share

With a degree in fisheries science, people often ask me: what kind of fish is that? I would like to be a better "teacher", but if it is a cooked white fillet on your plate, I can't tell :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know Berlin and Galicia quite a bit, so I think I can give good recommendations. But there are also many places I don't know yet myself, so I'm open to exploring more things together!
