Tea time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to come in contact with people.
I've been in Brest and Minsk (Belarus), Moscow, Cheboksary and Rostov-na-Donu (Russia), Přepeře (Czech), Strasbourg (France), Siegen (Germany), Gummersbach (Germany) and Trier (Germany). And I hosted a couple of guests, as you can see in my references. ;)

Interests

I adore to learn new languages! Currently trying to catch up with Slovak.

Big fan of meditation and yoga, tea and some good literature and knitting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn at least one sentence in every language. For my collection I'm specially looking for funny ones:

- Mon chat a des troubles digestifs. (French)
- Es gribu jāt ar bruņurupuci. (Latvian)
- Nikada nesam izbrao kondom u sebi. (Serbian)
- Camminiamo nudi nella foresta. (Italian)
- He hie een muhheheheuhe hie. (Flemish)

What I Can Share with Hosts

"MEIN - DEIN, das sind doch bürgerliche Kategorien..." (Marc-Uwe Kling)// "MINE -YOURS, that are bourgeois categories..." (Marc-Uwe Kling).
I live with this philosophy - so be my quest and get everything you need! :)

And I speak some languages and can explain grammatical structures in nearly every language. So if anybody needs help in grammar - I'm always glad to help.

Furthermore I love to cook vegetarian and to ferment. I'm a creative cook. :)
