I am a primary school teacher, who lives in Gelsenkirchen. Also, I am not very good at describing myself, but I am quite communicative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing, hosting, meeting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been surfing in Canada, New Zealand and Australia for a bit. Had great times everywhere where I surfed! Met lots of fun people, that are open-minded and good fun! It is great to know someone in a foreign city, who can give you tips where to go, where not to got, where it is cheap or other stuff. Some hosts had some spare time and took me around. That's the way to discover a place!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, especially good music, which includes rock/alternative and also other familiar stuff. My favourite band is from Germany and is called Die Ärzte and I also like the Beatsteaks. I listen to a lot of German music, but also to e.g. The Killers, Arcade Fire, Coldplay, The Kooks, Muse, Bright Eyes, The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Keane, La Vela Puerca or The Wombats, just to name a few of my all time favourites.

I love books, especially good books. It is hard to name a favourite one, but most of the times I read novels or thriller. Sometimes I randomly choose a book, cause it sounds good or has a nice cover.

I enjoy good movies. But from these three (music, books, movies), I am least interested in movies. Every now and then I relax with a movie, but only if there is time. For music and books there is always time.
