About Me

I'm an easygoing person who loves to break the ice with strangers when the chemistry is right. I strike a nice balance between being an introvert and an extrovert, feeling most comfortable in small groups where I can connect with everyone. With a creative and spontaneous mind, I enjoy chatting and gossiping with friends.

I'm a movie buff and an avid reader, always on the lookout for new stories to explore. Sports are a big passion of mine, and I love getting caught up in the excitement.

I first used Couchsurfing in 2015 while in the Philippines, where I had some of the best travel experiences of my life. Since then, I've been warmly hosted in Germany, France, and Spain. However, after starting my career as a German teacher in 2017, my opportunities for solo travel diminished, and I used Couchsurfing less frequently.

In the end of 2024, I've decided to take a gap year to travel and embrace new adventures! I finally have my own place and am excited to host fellow travelers as a Couchsurfing host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is not just living in a hotel and see the famous scenic spots. For me, I'd like to talk to the local people and integrate the local life. And CS is the best way to achieve that!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a German teacher with a passion for learning new knowledge and skills. While I teach German, I also strive to open my students’ minds to the wider world, encouraging them to embrace freedom and democracy rather than succumbing to indoctrination.

In addition to my teaching, I have a keen interest in nutrition and believe that many ailments can be self-healed through fasting. I love exploring different dietary practices and how they can enhance our well-being.

I'm also an avid reader and enjoy engaging in meaningful discussions about culture, philosophy, and current events. I find that conversations with people from diverse backgrounds enrich my understanding of the world.

In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, particularly hiking and cycling, which allow me to connect with nature. I believe that both physical and mental health are essential for a fulfilling life.

I can offer to help you tidy up the rooms and prepare delicious Chinese meals! I’d love to share stories from my travels, and I’m also a great listener. You can count on me to be there whenever you need support
