I like my town and area very much and being a Tourist Guide, since my Area was capital of culture 2010, I love to show people around!
Thats why I always enoughing to visit nice sights and interesting places!

After I finished my bachelor in Geography in Germany, I took one year off and done a work&travel year in Canada. Best times of my live! Especially the last 3 months where a went throw this Roadtrip, most times I couchsurfed! Love it :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share my couches and are excited what experiences and opportunities couchsurfing has for me!
Unfortualy not very much people visit Dortmund...hope that will chance this I live now in Berlin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my old apartment we, I lived with two other guys, hosted once 2 belgian musicians, which we just met the night before on the street! It was so much fun, that I opened one day after my couchsurfing profil! I never was able to test it out except one night in Germany while I done in intership.

Now I´m on a one work&travel year through north America.

So I lived and worked 6 months in Vancouver.
After this I´m now nearly 3 months on a lovely journey through Canada and the Staates.
And at the most places I couchsurfed! And I love it!

I started my tour on Vancouver Island, where I stayed at 3 couches, 2 times in Nanaimo, one couch in Ucluelet then I hide to the Staates, where I couchsurfed in Portland and San Francisco.

After this I´m very glad that I flow back to Canada.
I arrived in Calgary and planned to be there 2 days. It went out to one week, because my host where to lovely to leave.
I flew to Montreal, couchsurfed there at 2 places before I´m surfed 4 days in Quebec. I surfed 2 days in Ottawa.

So I love couchsurfing-it is the just the best way to travel!!! Thank´s to all of my host!
