🐈 I am primarily using this platform to look for traveling cat-sitter to look after my cat in exchange of accommodation 🐈

🎓 I am a PhD student in physical chemistry, due to the nature of our research, I have constant business trips, in average 1-2 per month, during which time I need someone to take care of my cat Bun by staying in my flat (it just breaks my heart having to imagine him all alone over the night). Bun is energetic but quiet, cautious but friendly, playful and clever, in general very easy to sit.

🪴 you are welcome to stay and use every thing in my one-bedroom apartment in southwest Berlin, I have a double bed, extra mattress and blanket, so 1-2 people should be alright. Please feed Bun and clean the litter box every day, and water the plants once per week.

⚒ love visiting all former USSR countries and hearing stories about Cold War, visiting museums or memorials, watching movies and documentaries and reading books on Second World War

🛸 I would see myself as an urban exploring beginner for abandon places, brutalism architecture and cyber scenery (reason why I love HK street views 😝)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to use CS more often while traveling and met great friends here, but much less now as my work requires quite some trips and I prefer to spend more time at home with my cat. But I still think it might be a good platform to provide mutual help, as I need cat-sitter quite often and I understand how much it worth for cat-lover traveller to be able to spend time in some private space with furry friends
