About Me

Hello friends of the world,
I'm a very down-to-earth and easy-going person, who admires the beauty of simplicity and purity, especially when it's done by nature. I'm a respectful and open-minded person, who loves to meet new people and learn about different customs and cultures. While traveling, I usually avoid bigger cities and mostly seek for smaller towns/villages in rural areas. I love outdoor activities even though I don't always find the time to do them. I also enjoy getting lost while traveling and losing any sense of time and space, connect with people and simply enjoy the joy of life. For the future, I want to live a co-sufficient life on a farm or finca maybe in the north of Spain or south of Germany. I like being in the mountains, close to the sea and the feeling that you get when you live on an island...

I share a tiny flat with my partner in Freiburg-Wiehre. We can offer a very comfortable sleeping couch for 2 people.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." - S. Jobs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a beautiful way of traveling. Hosting people from far away places makes me feel that we all belong to the same family.

Sharing is caring.

We are all one.

Interests

I love to grow and process my own food as much as possible. I like making fermented foods, e.g. sauerkraut, kombucha, sourdough bread, vinegar, etc.

Recently, started making my own miso and tempeh, it's so delicious and tastes so much better than the stuff you can buy.
