Hello!
Current residence: Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Grew up in Germany. Spent past five years in the U.S.
I love ranch dressing, time for books, traveling, music, beer, wine, friends, dogs, photography, and the sun.
I studied conflict resolution and focused on intercultural understanding.
Always excited to meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because traveling and meeting new people are two of my favorite things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books- Not to be cliche, but how do you not love Harry Potter?
Also, books that explain how humans work.

Movies - Habana Blues (tryin' to be artsy). Also, Star Wars.

Music - Folksy stuff that's not too sad. Like The Decemberists. Also sometimes electro, sometimes hip hop, acoustic Lady Gaga songs, and classical music (sometimes)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived 28 years of my life.
Also, I got up at 5am to watch the sun rise over Machu Picchu. It was foggy. Did not see the sun. But it was still awesome

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be a German and English teacher, so if you have questions shoot! I can also tell you about conflict resolution because that's what I studied. But I'd rather just tell you about the places I've visited and lived and funny and weird things that happened to me.

Learn everything and anything. Love learning weird words in different languages and what makes people weird.

Share cupcakes. If I have enough for both of us. Or any.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My pleasant company, possibly a few treats from my home countries (Netherlands, Germany or US), and way too many pictures of my dog. Maybe even a joke or two.
