About Me

To explain a little about me? Hm, five years ago I wrote a book about my crazy and wonderful life...
I consider myself as being a positive person - open minded, easy going, people-liking, reliable, interested in life, cultures, people; humorous ;-)
Travel has been a great part of my life - whenever there was a little money I went on - nowadays I like to react to invitations from friends to see them again (last trip: ten weeks in Hawai'i 2021/22) and have also lived and worked in diffeerent countries.
I like to meditate, fotograph, be and work in my little garden, deep and silly conversations (the sense of living for example...), enjoy being with my friends, write poems and stories, like cooking and eating vegetarian food (favorites are Moroccan, Indian and Japanese cuisine). I love nature, environmental consciousness, music (many genres!), films/cinema (I do not have a TV-set)...
Meanwhile, for the last 16 years I am living in the country-side of Northern Germany between Hamburg and Denmark, maintain a few little jobs, do some charity work for my village and enjoy life even in times like these strange ones (2020/2021/2022)...

For a couple of years I have lived and worked in different countries (US/NYC, Asia, NZ), many years back.

Since my place is very rural and about 15 km South of Kiel CS-people would need a car to get to my place.
I can host two peple on a bedcouch at a time.
Since 2016 I am also on airbnb. Look up 'Honigsee Dorf-Idyll' if you like! There are many lovely references :-)

P.S. I am certified with CS! I also transmitted the asked-for money via paypal! I do not know why it doesn't show... :-(

I am vaccinated, booster-shot in January.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be of help to nice people who are looking for a place to stay (as I may do so as well and have had the fortune to experience that many times while travelling the world myself) even before CS...
To meet and exchange thoughts with world travellers...
To get inspired and vice versa...
To share - whatsoever...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016 I created a professional meditation CD "RELAXATION"
2017 I wrote an autobiographyc book - including poems, travel stories and photos - yes, about my crazy wonderful life, title: "It could have all happened differently..."
As a lucky and happy person I have had so many great experiences - especially with people I have met around the world - and I still do!
