About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and see as much as possible from the world and meet different people. Love to hear different stories. Solo female travellers are especially welcomed.

ABOUT ME

Hey - I´m Louise, living in a nice neighborhood in my hometown. From here you have easy acces to public transport (next station just outside the door), the next train station is about 15 minutes walking. The neighborhood is known as an alternative, multicultural environment with loads of bars (about 150) around. You could walk from here to city in about 30-45 minutes, using the transport in about 15 minutes.

I recently started to host and love to hear stories and connect with different people. There is a double couch in my living room (the kitchen is attached, so I need to get into the room as well). There'd be place for a mattress as well. Smoking within the apartment is not allowed and I won't host you if you'd too drunk/wasted. Even though it's nice to have a drink together.

I'm more of a relaxed persons who likes to hang out or chat. If you would like to go for a hike to Saxon Switzerland (about 45 minutes with the train), I might join. I'm happy to show you around town, tell you about it and help you make an intinery. During the week, I work so prefer weekend stays

PHILOSOPHY

Travel broadens your horizons.
