About Me

ABOUT ME

My passion is traveling and nature. I am very interested in learning about other cultures which works best when interacting with local people. That's why I love couchsurfing.
The birth of my son led me to take a short break from travelling. I would now love to share my passion for travelling and couchsurfing with my family.
We are currently living in Göttingen, which is located in the middle of Germany and we do have a guest room. I am working from home as a project manager but can just anytime. My husband is a great cook and we are eager to share more about other people's and our view on life and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY
Take the paths no one has ever been so you can be certain you'll leave a visible trail, and not just churn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed many couches in many countries and was often overwhelmed by the hospitality of the people. For me it is the only way I really enjoy my journeys because it gives me the deepest inisghts into the culture and the exchange is enriching for both sides. I also have the chance to host now so our doors are open.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far my experiences were awesome and i don't wanna miss any of them! People I met enriched my understanding of the world and trust in mankind. All those are the ones that can make the world a better place to live in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Uganda and experienced a very different culture and way of living than what I am used to. My husband is from there so we are a biracial family which has enriches our understanding about life.
I went to India which I found the most diverse country with selfless people, a wonderful nature and the best food.
Peru and it's diverse nature - jungle, mountains, beaches.
Budapest by night
the Calanques: great mountanious countryside by the mediteranian
