CURRENT MISSION
live with an open heart

ABOUT ME
I am getting old now;) but I still feel young and lively. I've studied German, Psychology, Ethnology in Frankfurt (Germany) and Vienna (Austria) within a break of 8 months in Peru, where I had a great time with street kids. I worked as a journalist for a charity who helps poor and persecuted people all over the world. Last year I have married Jens who is a teacher for English and philosophy.

PHILOSOPHY
My home is the catholic church. Jens, my husband, is protestant and influenced by the Methodist church. We love Taizé and we both are charismatic but we are open to other views.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My husband and I are interest in men and cultures. So we are interest to travel and to host people from all nations. Actually we have a flat with two rooms (you will sleep in our living room on a couch).

Teach, Learn, Share

There are so many options to spend a good time: making music together, singing (just for fun) and laughing, playing board games, drinking wine ... Hm, I haven't been dancing for a long time but hanging around, talking, going for a drink or watching a movie are also fine. At least it is simple: We are just glad about getting to know people of different cultures, exchanging thoughts and talking about life.
