About Me

CURRENTLY TRAVELLING CANADA / ALASKA UNTIL SEPT 30TH 2024

Important info about my place! NIDDA is not near Frankfurt! Its 55km by car and 1.5hrs by train!-

Other than that it's really nice here if you like countryside, i.e. forests, little lakes etc.. There are no major tourist attractions, clubs or fancy restaurants -'just' nature and suburban lifestyle.

I'm a very positive, mindful, energetic and active person. I love being outdoors riding my bike, kayaking, hiking, gardening, but also listening to music and praticing yoga.

I have travelled the globe for many years and also lived abroad for more than 8 years now I'm back home.

I enjoy meeting new people, learning new things and having endless conversations about travel experiences, culture, spirituality or just for a giggle!

I already met truly amazing people here on couchsurfing and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot more..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think its a genius idea to be able to meet locals instead of only just taking selfies at tourist hot spots it can provide you with a better and more authentic experience of a country and its people..
