ABOUT ME

I'm Merle (yes I know - it's a bird's name in french!), a 22 years old german girl. After having done an european volontary service in a children's home in France I am now in Mainz studying French and Geography. I'm openminded, curious, creative and not a couch potato - far from it! Being a couchsurfing member I don't even have to remark that I really enjoy travelling ... But it is not only the travelled places that matter but rather the people I spent my time with, the discovered cultures and the different life styles, the exchanges and shared activities.

PHILOSOPHY

It's the time you spend on your rose that makes your rose so important (The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Actually I cannot host by now, but I hope this will change soon :-)

Interests

I love all kind of outdoor sports like snowboarding, running, hiking and climbing. I play the clarinet, I like acting and I won't refuse going out for drinking a beer or a wine (or both :-))... Besides I do really enjoy passing my evenings with my favourite people cooking, playing parlour games or just talking.
