I have been traveling around for the past years without a steady home. I used to say that I just wanted to write and therefore refused to take a steady job. And yes, I did write. But lately I am more and more suspicious that far more than wanting to write a novel I wanted to make my life feel like one.

Since a few months now I stopped being a nomad! I live in a castle close to Nuremberg (30 minutes by train) together with my husband, my little son (born in autumn 2025) and a bunch of other people. I will probably never have a couchsurfing request out here, but if it happens, I would love to finally host someone and give back some of the hospitality I experienced during my travels.

What else? I like everything about language and do speak a few. My imagination of a perfect day is going out for a coffee and ending up not returning till the next morning. I feel restless in rooms that are filled with a lot of things that nobody uses. I would always prefer a 24 hours bus drive over a flight, but not for moral reasons. I tend to be more afraid of safety than of chaos. I like meeting people in random circumstances. So if you are random enough to come to this small village, you're welcome :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I just like people. And the wonderful randomness of it and the surprises and inspiration it brings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Albania and ended up living in a village there for about a year. I signed a rental contract for a four floor house in Morocco that I couldn't even read (and got rid of it after two months). I lived in a seminar hotel in the Swiss Alps and felt like going back in time. I went to a book fair, didn't have money to get back, so I spent the night in an ICE toilet looking at fancy fotografies of Vienna and didn't get caught. I got stuck with French people in a Portuguese farm during lockdown and spent two hours each day looking at chicken. I wrote a book at 15 when my first boyfriend broke up with me, won a prize for it and gave an interview on YouTube talking about the inspiration for the story that everybody in my school was seeing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Most people love talking to me, either because of what I tell them or because of the way I listen. I also know Tarot and some energetic techniques.
