About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Welcome people with warmth, honesty, tasty food and crazy stories.

ABOUT ME

Original free spirit, well-read, young-at-heart adventurer.
Living with an athletic and deeply good-hearted German man.
We share a stylish, warm, homey and tidy house, we expect our guests (young or not) to align to these standards.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about adventures: pushing the boundaries of our reality.
We can open our reality wider with:
- enduring sports
- travelling and meeting people
- reading inspiring books
- studying with passion

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel with CS for vacations and when going for job interviews in my area.
I host people with generosity and honesty.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted with my friends in Denmark and Germany during a cycling trip.
We would always arrive exhausted, starving and stinking.
The sharing of food and hot water in that context would litterally open our hearts.
