I live together with my husband in Hanover. We are easy to reach by public transport, a bus stop is close by and it's only a 15-minutes walk to Bahnhof Nordstadt. We haven't hosted for a while now, since we had a very small flat that felt crowded already with the two of us. However, we moved to a bigger flat and are happy to have some guests again.

So... what else to tell you about me? I think of myself as an open-minded, creative, liberal and warm person. I like colourful stuff, arts and nature. I'm untidy and even as psychologist fail to change me in that way. ;-) I write fantasy stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think of couchsurfing as a bunch of friendly people, so I'll participate by being one of them. :-) And I like to get to know people with different backgrounds.

If you need something, just ask for it, if it's a couch, company, information or just using a washing machine. If I can help, in most cases I'll do.

Interests

I like thinking and talking. Most interested in emotions. What drives people to do, what they do and so on. That's why I have studied psychology. For the same reason, I am interested in spirituality and arts. I enjoyed the Art galleries in all the british cities so much!!
Some hobbies: pen&paper-role-play; make music (guitar, flute, drums, accordion, singing), but just for fun; paint or write to express my feelings; cook and eat ;-)
I like nature and have been a scout leader for years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the books about Fitz, the Farseer, by Robin Hobb. I also like the Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier and many of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett.

I like "dark" music genres (like gothic, metal) but also soft German rock or comedic musicians or a lot of other things. Some names: Katzenjammer, Haudegen, And One, Lumpenpack, Sister+, Annett Louisan.

My favourite TV series was Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. I like all kinds of movies, but favor those that are not too shallow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finished my studies. Maybe I am the only one who's amazed by that, because everybody else expected it. Well, they don't know all the times I wanted to run away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a writer and always happy to get to know other writers.
