I love travelling, foreign languages and making friends. I studied Computer Science and worked for 6 years in the IT field, but then I quit my job to become a translator. I can work anywhere; all I need is my notebook and Internet access. I am married for 12 years now and we don’t have kids yet, but we want to have children very soon, probably through adoption.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I would like to have more contact with native people from the places I visit.
