CURRENT MISSION

This year I‘m visiting South Korea the first week of November. I have come to Korea twice and totally fell in love with the people, the culture and beautiful countryside. There is so much more to discover … I can’t wait.

My greatest joy is meeting people, making friends and learning about the Korean history and way of life. I love visiting temples, parks, I adore cable cars with great views.
I’m not a big night life person although I heard that Korea has heaps to offer in that field. I’ll hopefully be catching up with friends friends I made during my last trips and I hope to explore new areas outside the cities also.

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Germany, grew up in France and live now in Australia after working all over the world,
I’m kind and reliable and curious about other cultures. I love good conversations and exchanging stories.

I was fortunate to learn beautiful songs from countries I lived in, like India, Russia, France and Italy. I play the guitar and the Mongolian horse head fiddle. Occasionally I give concerts and also teach languages and self discovery programs based on knowledge of the Vedic tradition.

PHILOSOPHY

'The quality of our life is determined by the state of our mind' (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We had a wonderful experience meeting a host family in Osaka, Japan and in UlanUde, Siberia. I also made amazing people in Mongolia. I find it fascinating to meet local people and make friends.

Unfortunately I cannot host surfers at the moment as I live in a very small studio. But I’m happy to meet, introduce you to friends and show you around when you visit Australia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience is excellent. The time my son and I spent with our hosts in Osaka are the most memorable ones from our entire Japan trip.
The family I stayed with in UlanUde have become close friends and we met again on a separate trip and keep in close contact.
My Mongolian hosts have meanwhile moved to Sydney and we meet regularly.
Couch surfing friends in South Korea from 2023/24 have a special place in my heart and we‘ll likely meet again this year in November…
