I am a New Zealander living in Lübeck, in northern Germany. I have three children, with two away studying and the other (17) possibly here when you visit. My partner just recently (Aug 2025) into a flat downstairs. Between us, we have different hosting possibilities. 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.
