CURRENT MISSION

To find a reasonable and healthy balance between work and life.

ABOUT ME

Well - I'm not a party animal. Sometimes I like to meet friends at a pub or so, at other times a book and a cup of tea is fine for me. I like to talk with people, to hear about their lives and home countries but I can also remain silent for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I joined the couchsurfing community I have been couchsurfing "unofficially" with friends in Sweden, France and Germany.

So far I have hosted six surfers and I also experienced the other side of couchsurfing, i.e. surfing someones couch, during my holidays in summer 2007 and 2010.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen smugglers at work when crossing the ukranian-romanian border by bus ... very interesting!

My boyfriend and I build a bike out of bamboo. It is not yet ready for use but I am really curious about how it feels to ride it.

I can tell you why there is an ozone-hole over Antarctica or how to make a wonderful elder blossom jelly.
