I WILL BE TRAVELLING AND OUT OF TOWN FROM MAY UNTIL OCTOBER, SO I AM NOT AVAILABLE DURING THAT TIME! Hi, I am Merle, lovely to be here again! I had a profile before, which I cannot access at the moment, but you can find it if you search for hosts and type in my name - there are some references from my former couchsurfing days ;-) I moved back to my hometown of Hannover in 2014 after living in Düsseldorf and studying literture and translation there. Discovering new places is a great adventure to me and there simply is no better way of doing it than staying with lovely, local people. Here are some things I enjoy: Sunshine, good food, chocolate, relaxing while reading a book, walking through grass on bare feet, singing while riding my bike, swimming in clear water, dancing to wonderful music, sharing laughs with people I meet.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I have travelled with Couchsurfing before and enjoyed it immensely. Meeting so many wonderful people, both staying at their place and hosting, is just amazing and I would love to continue this experience!
Musique, films et livres
Music - I love music! Stuff to dance to (Salsa, Flamenco, Reggaeton, Ska - I don't discriminate), stuff to think to - Eddie Vedder, stuff to relax to - Moddi, Xavier Rudd, stuff to sing along to - Zaz, Maná, the list goes on and it's all good. Movies - Fried Green Tomatoes..., Pretty Woman, Kill Bill, Into The Wild, ah, too many... Books - I have not been reading enough lately. This needs to change back to the way it used to be. Books are soulfood.
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Traveling around Australia for 9 months, packing melons and pruning vines. It has impacted my ability to think of "trips" that are shorter than a month as worthwhile, which is rather inconvenient when you have a job, but it sure was amazing.
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I can try to teach you German. I am not good at grammar though. I can cook a bit and teach you how to make a simple meal if you have no idea. I don't follow a specific diet, but like vegetarian food and trying vegan options. I'd love to show you around Hannover by bike if you visit, I use my bike for pracitcally all my transportation.
