About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Salut Paris?

ABOUT ME

The strange thing about self-description is, that I have the impression that I know myself somehow, but I can't really tell what I am like...I was a student of European Ethnology searching her way. This way sometimes leads me at strange times to some places, like Riga in February oder Kasachstan in March. Or from lovely Hamburg to (dismal but somehow good) Chemnitz...
What am I like? Openminded and friendly? A little shy sometimes? Not complicated!? Not shy anymore if I feel comfortable.
Like to cook, dance, read, music, having people around...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed a bit, hostet a little bit, liked both! And as soon as I am a bit more settled I'd like to be more acitfe in Paris then I am right now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled through Latvia a little and it was quite good. And then summer in Romania, which was great. We've met lots of nice people, they hosted us even if we had asked just the day before,...

Interests

Any books, the longer they are, the better it is (at least sometimes) This sounds like reading is my only interest. It is not, I like to meet friends, to sit in the kitchen far too long, to cook and drink and eat and dance and play games (anyone who is playing "Doppelkopf"?...stuff everybody likes I guess.
Ah at the moment, we've lots of summer-rain I like somehow.
