I'm a 29 year old mum of two (eight and five years old) and a wannabe writer.
I love to travel (but don't often have the opportunity) and meet interesting, open-minded, unorthodox people.

I am easy-going, curious, chaotic, and passionate about my friends and family, and there are really only few people I don't welcome or accept (that would be e.g. racists, homophobes, sexists, inconsiderate assholes and scary creeps ).

I might seem a little introverted, but give me just a little time and I show my true outgoing and talkative self ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the philosophy of Couchsurfing, and I am looking forward to meeting nice, open minded people from all over the world who love traveling like I do .

I've already had one really good experience as a guest, and I'd really love to be a host sometime.

Interests

Most important in life are my Kids and my partner Kevin, nothing makes me happy like they do. Second important are my friends and rest of the family. I love spending hours just talking, spending time together, going out, eating and drinking together, sharing all the funny, amazing, boring, happy and sad moments of life together is what counts most to me.
I could not live without music, my life needs a soundtrack :), but I haven't yet learned to play an instrument.
I also love really good movies, reading books for hours , spending time outdoors, travelling and learning new languages, good food, going to concerts, festivals, museums, pubs, partys.

I'm interested in everything to do with people (their stories, lifestyles, social justice, relationships, sex, opinions, society... just imagine an alien wanting to learn about the human race, thats how I feel sometimes ^^), culture (arts, philosophy, history, ...) and nature/animals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Followed my heart... again and again, it was worth it every time.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want you can get to know a little about German culture, food, language... not sure what else I could teach you ^^

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughter, a couple of drinks, anything :)

I don't have any special skills, gifts or wisdom to offer; but I think I would make a good guest, I am friendly, polite, independant, humble, grateful and trustworthy.

UPDATE: When filling out my profile I was a little optimistic and perhaps naive, now, after reading tons of scary/crazy stories here about couchsurfing experiences, I think it might be wise to be absolutely clear:

- Staying with you/ letting you stay with me does NOT mean we will have sex!
- no other crazy expectations, I have very little money
- NO homophobes, sexists, racists!
- NO religious fanatics and such
- NO drama (I don't mean the theatre, I mean violent-jealous-partner- bloodthirsty-psychotic-junkie-paranoid-wild-animal-kidnapper-burning-down-the-house-sexual-predator-peeing-in-the-sink-scenarios)

That said, I hope to meet many nice, just-the-right-amount-of-crazy people ;)
