Currently living in Sydney and working for a humanitarian organisation. Have lived many years in Germany and the Middle East. Interested in languages, history, travel literature and meeting new people.

I like socialising but also respect people's privacy and space.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I have taken a couple of months off and am travelling to Europe and the Middle East from June onwards. I am a passionate and experienced traveller and keen to explore the beauties one comes across when on travel. I like travel writing and am always keen to hear or share a good story with people I meet on my travels.

For sure, I will be travelling to Germany, Morocco, Lebanon, Armenia and Iran. But who knows where life takes you, when your on the road!?

I have been in 5 different countries in only one day (no planes involved!) Guess which? :)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Apart of the gratefullness to my hosts, I can offer and share interesting stories; also, I'm always good for some laughs; I am a good and empathetic listener; a pragmatic person as well. So more than happy to look into anything that needs so be fixed etc. Of course I am keen to invite my hosts to a meal as they'll know where best to go :)
