CURRENT MISSION

Trying to give couchsurfing a restart :-)

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, (most of the time) sociable and out-going person who loves to discover new places and get to know new people, laugh and have company.
However, I also tend to work a lot and have a busy schedule.
I don't really go out regularly anymore, but I enjoy live music and a chat in a pub or beer garden - however prefer day-time activities mostly :-)

I love spending time with our dogs, festivals, discussions on any kind of stuff, games, foreign languages (my job), going for long walks, flea markets, travelling (like everyone here I guess), films, reading, vegetarian cooking (I love to discover new receipes)...

I live with my husband and my dogs in the countryside, about 20km from Bonn, where I go regularly to meet my friends.
We used to host and be hosted when we were younger and would love to start doing it again. We met so many great people!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting and being hosted, by offering advice when i can, by infecting others with the wonderful spirit of couchsurfing.
We have moved here 8 years ago and will be pleased to show you some of our favourite spots!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met many really nice, open and fun people by hosting and surfing - for me it's a wonderful way to get to know people from all around the world and to see how wide-spread the thought of hospitality is :) I'm looking forward to experience more!
I met so many great people, especially my month in France was an amazing period of my life - I met so many nice, fun, generous, open-minded and -hearted people, it was a wonderful time!
