My friends would describe me as a polite, understanding, sensitive and open minded person. Sometimes I just like to relax and enjoy the moment. I need freedom and time for myself but I also love to talk to other people about meaningful things as well as travel experiences. I love challenges and I try to escape my comfort zone whenever I feel like (realize) beeing in a bubble. After quitting my cruise ship job in 2019 I traveled 1.5 years in Europe on my motorbike and started working for research organization Fraunhofer in Bremen. In 2023 I started my Panamerican Highway journey in Panama, heading towards Canada. Update 20206: Since 2024 I'm moving around British Columbia and would love to meet other couchsurfers on the way and share stories and excitement, learn about local facts and events and just have a good time with others :-)
Hi I'm Elisabeth :) I am a Student in Geography from Bremen, Germany. I am going to travell to Chile and would like to meet some new people and find places to stay

I am just a man on this world. Skilled farmer, development worker, mechanic, veterinarian... Enthusiastic motorcycle rider. For traveling, not for racing. Did Cairo to Cape Town in 2018/19 with a friend and solo from Sept. 2022 to March 2023 a seven months no-plan journey around the southern countries of East Africa and partly together with my youngest daughter (than 14 years). In summer 2023 I traveled together with my son (then 13 years) around Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Zimbabwe. In 2024 Tanzania and Zambia again...and 2025... And I love books. I need them around me, right next to me and always at least one in my backpack. If not yet, discover the miracle of reading. Just do it.

About Me — À propos de moi EN I never quite know how to describe myself, but people usually find me easy to get along with and fairly uncomplicated — at least most of the time. If you like categories: in Western astrology I’m a Pisces, in the Chinese zodiac a Fire Sheep, and according to the MBTI I’m an INFP. None of this will tell you much about me, of course, but getting to know someone in person usually works better anyway. Feel free to ask me anything. One thing I prefer to mention openly: I’m gay. It won’t affect your stay in any way, and you’ll be completely safe and comfortable at my place. I respect all backgrounds, beliefs and identities, and I enjoy cultural exchange and good conversations. What I don’t enjoy are situations where guests feel the need to “fix” or “correct” who I am. Respect goes both ways. If my orientation is a problem for you, choosing a different host will probably make everyone happier. For everyone else — whatever your gender, background or preferences — you’re very welcome to stay with me. FR Décrire qui je suis n’a jamais été mon point fort, mais on me dit souvent que je suis quelqu’un de calme, facile à vivre et plutôt simple — du moins la plupart du temps. Si vous aimez les repères : je suis Poissons, Mouton de Feu dans le zodiaque chinois, et INFP selon le MBTI. Rien de tout cela ne remplace une vraie rencontre, bien sûr. J’aime quand les conversations se construisent naturellement, alors n’hésitez pas à me poser des questions. Je préfère le dire sans détour : je suis gay. Cela ne changera rien à votre séjour, sinon que vous serez accueilli avec respect, curiosité et bienveillance. J’aime découvrir d’autres cultures, partager des idées et apprendre des personnes que je rencontre. Si vous appréciez l’ouverture d’esprit et les échanges sincères — quel que soit votre genre, votre histoire ou vos préférences — ma porte vous est ouverte.
Hi 🌞 my name is Gerardine. Important: I currently host people with references (I apologize if you’re new to this). I particularly prefer hosting women, as I appreciate knowing that any woman who stays with me has a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Communication matters to me. If you are not genuinely communicating with me, or if our communication consists primarily of one-word replies and only a few sentences, I will cancel the stay. It is nothing personal; however, this is my home, not a hotel, and I believe that welcoming someone into one’s home requires a certain degree of communication and mutual consideration beforehand. If I host you, the only thing I ask in return is that you take a moment to leave a reference describing your experience. I would also like to make one distinction regarding references. Someone who has never met me and has never stayed in my home should not leave a reference on my profile simply because a stay was cancelled several weeks in advance. Equally, if your plans change, I simply expect to be informed. If you are due to arrive and I hear nothing from you, or if you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice after I have made arrangements for your arrival, I would consider it entirely reasonable to leave an honest, negative reference reflecting that experience. I work from 7:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. I normally leave home at around 7:00 a.m. and return at approximately 4:45 p.m. Quite often, I go directly to the gym after work, in which case I may not be home until around 7:00 p.m. I work a great deal and therefore need to organise my schedule in advance in order to be available to let you into my home. There are occasions when I may come home specifically for that purpose. For this reason, if I have arranged my day around your arrival and subsequently discover that you are in another country or simply no longer intend to come to my home, I believe it is fair to reflect that experience honestly in a reference. If you happen to have an inconveniently timed flight, you are very welcome to rest at home. You are also welcome to use the time to relax or put on a washing machine if you need to. I want you to feel comfortable while you are here. I have an 11½-year-old cat called Sugar 🐈, so please be comfortable around cats. Please note that guests, including couples, will sleep in the living room. This is a shared home and a genuine home-sharing experience, rather than a private hotel room. While staying with me, I kindly ask that you do not help yourself to my food without asking first. This has happened to me before, so I prefer to make this expectation clear from the outset. If you do not have your own key, I would also appreciate you returning home at a reasonable hour. I get up at 6:30 a.m. every morning for work, so I need to be mindful of my sleep and working schedule. If you are travelling as two people, I prefer that each person has their own Couchsurfing profile.
My husband Lex(https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/lextoindia) and I are sharing an apartment and this couchsurfing profile. We both lead pretty active life styles, we like nature, hiking, adventures, climbing and we have done quite a bit of couchsurfing together. CURRENT MISSION Trying to fit traveling and fun into a busy work schedule. ABOUT ME I love doing things with people. Going on adventures, such as trekking, climbing, hiking or bicycling is among my favorites but I am open for new exciting adventure sports. I also love food! I often try to cook new things myself and sometimes the experiment fails. But I think I am getting better.
Dear future guests: You DON'T need to read my whole profile, tell me a secret code word, or customize your request to me in any way. But please fill out your own profile fully and send me a request that tells when you plan to arrive and what you want to do in Bremen. You can message my phone if you need a fast response, but send a request on CS too. +4917697865119 Me? Software Dev, volunteer worker, Scout, motor biker, sailor, scuba diver, mountain guide. I did a 1 year volunteer exchange in Germany, then hitch hiked, mountain climbed, and volunteered my way to India for my next projects. I spent 5 months there doing rainwater harvesting design, solar power systems, grassroots sanitation projects, learning to ride motorcycle (and later got my A class motorcycle license in Germany) and successfully ran an environmental cleanup trekking company and got a job at a climbing gym. I came back to Europe looking for new opportunities for education, work, and volunteering and found a position as the onsite admin at a cool non-profit Scout Camp in Romania where I worked with kids and Gypsies. Then I went to school in Prague and became a certified English Teacher. That kinda sucked, so I went back to IT. So, here I am :D

CURRENT MISSION loving/ missing/ being free/ spreading my wings /always. ABOUT ME Relax, it's only a ghost. I am happy about any new experience or adventure and person! I also like to do things easy going without any hurry. Laughing (even if it takes time until i melt completely), having a drink, deep conversations and spontaneous actions and normally i am the first one dancing ;) Some people might think my head is in the clouds but i just feel comfortable with my thoughts. So, if you are also someone easy to get along with we could have a good time! PHILOSOPHY Happiness is something you can choose. mostly
ABOUT ME Dear surfers, i host verified surfers and not at weekdays only at Weekend! like to travel in south east asia.... i prefer island and looking for new paradieses :-) koh tao koh chang phi phi krabi koh lanta angkor wat but my favourite island for a long time is koh tao and koh chang ...
I love all the adventures and happiness that encounter me in daily life. All the nice people and four-legged-friends inspire me to travel, go out to try new things and take a whole lot of shit more easy. I love to laugh and enjoy time with good minded people, have some deep talks but also just joke around. Eventhough I like to talk about politics they make me really sad. I would say I try to learn more an more to be less harmfull to the world and learn more about the enviourment. Eventhough I love to be happy I have my times where I rather talk less and be a little bit more in a melancholic mood. I can get sarcastic and pessimistic and just rant about everything. If you have a probem with feminists we won't be friends!
