About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get in touch with interesting people, no matter which age oder nationality

ABOUT ME

I would like to meet people on their interesting way, in life and on tour through europe. In 2008 and 2009 I spent some time in Australia and would like to find contacts here to visit each other... I´m fond of my hometown and the lovely surrounding. Guess I´m a good travel scout here and I would like to meet people who would do the same for me in Oz.

PHILOSOPHY

I´m a positive thinking human being, love my family and friends, my job and my cat ´Lissy`...I´m interested in many ways, love to meet interesting people. My job takes a good part of my time and energy, but it´s o.k.: I love to handle the difficulties of every day routine to reach some effort for the team and the disabled inhabitants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to invite people to my home; show them around in Siegburg, Bonn and Cologne (in the evening) if they like to....and to support international contacts and travellers...I surfed in Australia and met some really interesting people: Thanks to Gayle, Geoff, Frank and Ian!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I loved to stay in several backpackers in Oz and to join the loveley community there. Such ´hotels` are unknown in Germany...that´s a pity I think CS is a good alternative to that.
Yeeehaaaaa! just surfing in Oz! Wonderful exprience!

Interests

I´m interested in sports (aerobic, nordic walking) and music; I´m singing in a choir. I love to read books of every kind: for my job, thriller, love stories, humour. Interesting concerts (pop,rock, independent, classic, even opera) are offered much in this high-cultured area; the pubs?? (Kneipen) are famous. I love the opportunities of this ´sector`(it´s called in the radio)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...with the harbour bridge climb in Sydney I coped with the height and my fear of it...Yeah! I did it!!!
