About Me

___________________________________________________________For guests:
Hey lovely traveller,
Whenever I request to sleep at a host’s home, I always make sure to write a very personal requests. Unless you do something really freaking cool, like skate from St. Petersburg to Lisboa or walk from London to Asia, I kinda wish to receive requests that are individual and creative. If I recognize that your request could be copy pasted there’s a big chance you are gonna get declined, which is always a sad thing to do and a missed opportunity.
Also my housemates are new to the concept of Couchsurfing. It is my responsibility to make them enjoy this experience so please make a good impression and be respectful. Also please take of your shoes when you enter our home.
I do accept people without references but then please make sure to have an interesting profile.
You might be lucky and get to enjoy my food, but I also very much appreciate when people help with the greasy dishes after. If you read all of this state in your request that this note reminded you to drink a sip of water, because drinking water is important, so cheers.
If all of this hasn’t scared you off I am impressed and my home will be your home.

Hello dear host and fellow traveller!
Thank you for checking out my profile!
I feel like my story has just begun! Let's get in touch so you can be part of my story.
I have been travelling Oceania and Asia for 3 years. Always looking for memorable experiences. Still on the go. I have been so impressed with the kindness and generosity people have welcomed me with. Not just on Couchsurfing but anywhere I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think we all know why CS is amazing?! It simply has gotten me in touch with people and experiences that I don't ever wanna miss anymore!

Interests

I'm always super keen to try anything new. Do you have a cool unusual hobby or lifestyle? Introduce me to it.
Personally I like to get a little creative, maybe draw and read. Cook! I love hand made things. Pottery or jewellery/clothing. I love going to museums and markets! Farmers/food/night/weekend.... love Wondering through the streets. I could waste days and weeks just sitting in a cafe and watch people.

I love cooking and am always happy to learn new skills and dishes from all over the world. I LOVE trying new food or anything I never ate before.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eventhough I believe that money is best invested in travel and music my list of attended live concerts is quite short; Coldplay, Ben Howard 2x, Macklemore, Florence & the Machine, Iron and Wine. Many to come. I am into really chill electro and house music as well as lots of Indi! I don't really mind as long as the beat is catchy and the voices are good!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have you ever heard of a Rainbow Gathering? If not I will enlighten you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share! ESPECIALLY FOOD!!! If you ask me for my favourite food I won't be able to answer, honestly. Let's go to your favourite restaurant and have a feast! Also I am always looking for new experiences, so if you have an exciting hobby or a slightly different lifestyle I'd be super down for getting to know you better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make a freaking good German Applestrudel.
