I am a librarian and I live in Berlin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know all kinds of people. I'd like to learn how other people live and what they like about their city. If I travel alone, I would also enjoy hanging out and maybe make new friends who can visit me in return.

Interests

I really like parks and cafés with delicious food and drinks. I like the libraries and to read books under big trees.
I like to make my own popsicles and candy, I also make food, but not as a hobby, just to live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was so amazing in Thailand. I was there the previous February and it was such an experience to me. The first day, I went to the train station and took the train to Chiang Mai, which was over night, and I could only get the 3rd class, but it didn't matter. I still got some sleep, interrupted by people praising their goods like drinks and food when we reached stations... I really want to repeat that, driving with an old train that makes the little train noises through the great landscapes is something I enjoyed very much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach German and how to make popsicles, which I, besides other food I can make, can share with you. I can also share drinks with you and anecdotes.
I am on a lifetime mission to learn Arabic, but I constantly abandon it.
