CURRENT MISSION

enjoying being a Mummy :-)

ABOUT ME

I really love to travel- my dad used to take me all over the places. Since I come from the eastern part of Germany we weren´t allowed to go anywhere we wanted to until the wall came down. But then we used every chance to see the world.

My life is very colorful, I am always busy, always in action... can´t spent too much time at just one place. I prefer to travel by myself, so I can get to know more people in the country I go to and I am more independent. I have been in Brazil and the States- it was awesome... and also spent 3 amazing months in AUSTRALIA, where I had my first CS experiences. I stayed there with 9 different couchsurfers and they passed me on to their families and friends- it has been one of the most wonderful adventures I discovered! This trip just was a blast!!!

So glad I am finally back on CS- already did a little Europe trip and hosted 3 CS's (in a week- not bad, eh?) and my heart already is on the next journey and I can't wait to get it started.

PHILOSOPHY

"LIFE IS OURS TO BE SPENT... NOT SAVED!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Doing my best to spread CS all around the world, greeting new members, doing many radio interviews and taking part at TV documentaries about CS, organizing many more meetings and of course to HOST whenever there is the chance!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my very first couchsurfing experiences in big OZ- and never thought it would work out that well. I stayed there for almost 3 months and just had to stay 2 nights at a backpacker- the other times I stayed with CS's, their families and friends. There were a million lucky circumstances which made my trip to a blast.

After coming back from my journey I wanted to return the favor and since then I am hosting whenever I can! I had about 45 Couchsurfers staying with me and surfed in London and in Portugal. There were visitors who stayed just one night and I also had people staying for more than a month... it is always exciting to host someone and to get to know someone and the best part about having visitors is you get to know a country without being there- it is like being on a special journey without leaving the house... :-)
