I'm openminded and interested in a lot of things. Travelling is for me an important experience because you won't come back like the same one. I like to speak and to learn foreign languages and to meet people who are interested in foreign cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I'm at home and there is time enough for hosts I can show them the city of Aachen with its ancient history. Living in Aachen means also to stay in a close contact to the Netherlands and Belgium. It's a region of high cultural density.
