After spending my childhood with parents and grandparents in a bakery, I went to boarding school for three years, then I went to California and studied there for two years. After returning to Germany I met my husband in Munich and we moved to Northern Germany. I have three children, three grandchildren and a little great-grandchild. I was teaching for thirty years. Now I live alone with many friends in town and around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During the years I have experienced great hospitaliy in Europa, United States, South East Asia and Australia and therefore I would like to host people, young and old, male and female here at my place in Oldenburg.
