CURRENT MISSION

Learning the Polish language

ABOUT ME

I and my family live in a town near Hamburg. We love to host people and learn about other countries and cultures.
We like to cook and are always eager to learn new recipes. Of course we can also show you some of our favorite dishes!
I am a passionate distance runner, so if you're a runner too we can get in some miles together.
I am fascinated with languages! I am always interested in learning even the tiniest bit of a language I don't know. And of course I want to improve my knowledge of the languages I think I know ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the good of people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can offer accommodation for up to 4 people. We can pick you up in Hamburg, show you around in Hamburg and Lübeck, or go to the seaside at the Baltic sea.
We have experienced real hospitality as guest of other couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed couches of great people in Italy and Ireland (together with my wife or family). We hosted people from Germany and abroad. We always had a good time and each CouchSurfing experience was good and enriching.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn about life in other countries, about things you can't read in books or newspapers. I can offer you my opinion about what's going on in Germany. I'm also interested in the opinions others have about Germany.

I'd like to become more fluent in English (and my feeble Italian), and I can offer helping you to improve your German.
