Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like Couchsurfing, because it's the best way to share culture. And I think that we actually have that many different is something awesome. The greatest thing in life is the fact that we never stop learning. I love traveling and meet new places as well as new people. That's one of the things I enjoyed about being an Au Pair - you meet people you probably would never have met, because they live in other countries - and even if they live in the same country it doesn't mean that you know each other already. And that's why I'm on couchsurfing, because I see it as an opportunity to meet new people and share some of my culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some culture from Germany and show people that it's not just beer, oktoberfest and preztels. And I think it's great to talk about your experience with traveling. How you liked a specific country and if you would recommend it to someone else. I've been to quite a lot of places (even if I would like to see way more) and so I can share this experience with hosts. And if someone would like to know about a special german food or something else - that's something I could share as well!
And if someone is interested in kick- and thaiboxing let me know! I'm sure I can share some as I'm doing it quite a while.
