My name is Judith, I am 36 years old, and I grew up in this old farm house from 1903 near Bonn, Germany. When my mother died, some friends moved in with me, 38 year old student called Ronald and a 28 year old student called Nina. I also have 2 cats and 2 bunnies who live in a stable in the garden, and during the week, "Tashunka", the australian shepherd of one of my friends, is staying with us as well.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've always been pretty hospitable, my guest room has often been inhabited by friends and strangers (recommended by friends), it just never occured to me before today to create a Couchsurfing account, no idea why. ;-) But as we say in Germany: Besser spät als nie! (Better late then never!)

Centres d'intérêt

"Human outside - Hobbit inside" summs it up pretty well. ;-)
As you can already guess from my profession as a vet nurse, I love animals.
My second passion is gardening, growing flowers, herbs, and vegetables and cooking with what I harvest in my garden.
When I'm on vacation, I'm always drawn away from the cities and into nature. I love nature and old architecture, especialy if it's surrounded by plants and old trees.
