I am a New Zealander living in Lübeck, in northern Germany. I have three children, with one away studying and the other two (17, 15) possibly here when you visit. My partner lives in Hamburg but she is often here too. We are a bilingual family, so communicating in either German or English is fine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling, I love to get to know the local people and culture. And that's best done meeting people in their own homes, rather than being hidden away in some anonymous hotel room. I also enjoy sharing our world with other travelers.
