About Me

Born in Munich, living in Hamburg since 2008, working at Hamburg University and the local school board. My professional fields are education, linguistics, migration, integration, intercultural studies ... and some more. I like teaching and learning. I'm a busy woman, active, communicative and open-minded. I have always been studying, working and meeting with people from different cultures. It's not much space I can offer, but a very nice and central place.

Interests

I like movement and my colorful social life. Love to meet new people from all over the world. I love sports (swimming, running, Yoga, Bikram, some climbing, some diving, ...) and wellness afterwards, nature, good food, cooking, music, literature, movie, theatre, ... Love traveling in order to explore nature, different countries, cultures, languages and life styles. I'm interested and involved in migration and integration issues - my original business is teaching German as a Foreign language to refugees. I would like to share my small flat with open-minded, respectful and tolerant people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach German; want to learn Spanish and other languages ...
Have a piano and want to learn it better ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a small but nice 40-m2-flat in the centre of Hamburg (St. Pauli) - very close to the harbor and next door to Reeperbahn. It's in the 5th floor, under the roof - without lift. There is my sleeping room and one more big room with a small but well established kitchen, table, chairs, TV, WLAN, ... and a big sofa. Two people (liking each other) can sleep there comfortably. The small bathroom has toilet, lavatory and shower. Everything you might need is in the direct neighborhood: supermarket, bakery, cafés, bars, restaurants, shops, pharmacy, ... and, of course, parks and street life. You have an ideal connection to busses and metro - but from my flat you can walk almost anywhere ;-)

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Egypt, England, France, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Maldives, Netherlands, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Thailand, Ukraine
