ABOUT ME

Not Hosting right now - but always love to meet new people from around the world.

I have lived in Melbourne for 3,5 years and came back in summer 2019. I had an amazing time in Australia and meet a lot of lovely friends through couch surfing. Afterwards I took a one year break and helped out at the organic farm of my family. Now back in Hamburg working as a landscape architect.

I really like art and illustration, animals and nature, playing crappy piano and guitar, photography, Thai-food and I‘d love to explore the world a little bit more.

I´m open-minded, curious and welcoming and a very reliable host or guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting almost non-stop during the summer 2007 to summer 2008 in Porto|Portugal together with my flatmate Stefanie - see references in her profile; very interesting people and a lot of fun www.couchsurfing.com/people/thingstomakeanddo
later on back in Germany, Australia and during travels I used CS more for getting in touch with local people and travelers but less hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Walked and talked, cooked and ate, partied and played, laughed and learnt; had wonderful times and hope to have many more! I was hosted in some cites of Portugal and Spain by wonderful people, and got to know a lot of cool people in Berlin, Porto, Hannover and Melbourne

Interests

Landscape, in cities as well as out there in nature, the sea, forests, finding the most beautiful off-the-beaten-track spots on earth, lying down there and just enjoying my surroundings - enjoying calm and beautiful places and just letting my thoughts wander/wonder, be it in sand dunes or in abandonded houses
