About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living, Learning

ABOUT ME

Born in Germany but lived mainly in the USA, Canada and Austria. Spent the last 5 years in Gibraltar which I then left in lieu of traveling the world. Now I am back in my country of birth as a foreigner :)

Longing for the road has always been more a part of me than homesickness, as I feel at home anywhere I met good people. I love good talks, ideas and different perspectives.

PHILOSOPHY

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offered my sparebedroom to visitors in Gibraltar over the last few years. After travelling around I've settled in Cologne. My flat is not as well suited for Couchsurfing as it used to be - but I have a nice couch so if I have time - I offer it.

Tons of great experiences with great people. Happy to share them with you over a beer or tea.
