About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding space-time for a climbing vacation

ABOUT ME

I like surprises, decent chats, the feeling of traveling, spending time with people that care about eachother, sports, going out, being outgoing, being whatever feels right.

PHILOSOPHY

Noone is to be reduced to what he or she cannot do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing. I'm like a grandma couchsurfer, who knows and likes to talk about the old sweet times. CS has changed a little, I've had some shitty experiences but so many beautiful encounters during all my time with CS.

I usually have some things to do, so I like to host independent people, who are interested in getting to know me but who can also spend time on their own and care for their own wellbeing. If my surfers manage to look after their own food and leave the space tiday, I can host more people in general.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several in Australia, a few in Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Swizerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Brittain, France, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Italy and Argentina.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed with some people from Argentina und Peru in a self-built wooden dreamhouse near Futaleufú at the Rio Azul (Chile) in the Andenean mountains. And at times I'm still wondering why I left.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to learn whatever comes along and I share and teach whatever I can offer and you are interrested in. Usually we have more knowledge and more to give than we assume.

What I Can Share with Hosts

On travels I've learned that there's always something to do; people have projects on their mind or simple works that they don`t have the time to accomplish. Sometimes we just shared travel advice, stories, loughs, recipes, and sometimes I helped in the house, made bread or repaired something.
