About Me

Hello people, I can't host at the moment (September 2016)!

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and find a healthy work-life balance .

ABOUT ME

I'm a German girl living in The Netherlands now for about three years and really enjoying the city (Rotterdam) and the Dutch culture!

I'd describe myself as an open, outgoing, and positive person! I love traveling because I'm curious about other cultures! I'm also curious about mostly anything and everything doesn't matter if it's a hobby, history, science, religion etc. if I don't know about it tell me!

My philosophy is that everyone can believe in and do whatever they want as long as they don't impose it on others and don't harm anyone or anything!!

PHILOSOPHY

Give and you will receive!
And think positive!! Focus on what you have and what's good rather than the opposite!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've been surfing but I would love to give some of the hospitality back to the community once I'm done traveling :-) and have a decent enough couch!

My couch is not really that big now but I just bought an air mattress ;-) So if you don't mind that feel free to contact me!

Note: The last time I received a couple of very short, impersonal and short-notice requests. I usually don't reply to these mails (so my response rate is quite low)! However, if you send me a 'normal' request I'll do my best to reply as soon as possible! :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couch surfing in the U.S., South America and Europe so far! It's been a very rewarding and great experience! It is amazing how much trust people showed me and how many interesting people I met through CS!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mountaineering in the alps!! Always a great experience! I love the views, the 'silence' and clean air there! It gives me so much energy!
Taj Mahal in India! Even more impressive than on pictures!
Back packing through South America!!!
My road trip through North America - so many places in so little time and driving all across the USA really gives you a feeling about the country's size!

Teach, Learn, Share

Like I said I am interested in pretty much anything so I'd love hear about everything and anything! I appreciate 'good' conversations and like to exchange experiences and points of view.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My point of view and my experiences ... :-)
... and besides that I could teach you how to make German (heavy) bread and some basics of German, Dutch, English or Spanish.
