About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bikepacking tour from Europe to China in 2020-2021 with my husband!

ABOUT ME
I'm on couchsurfing since 10 years and I love it so much that I married a brazilian couchsurfer! He's called Felipe (I know, we have the same name) and his profile is this: www.couchsurfing.com/people/felipemaciel
I am a music teacher in Germany and Felipe is a librarian. We are currently travelling the world together and looking for nice open-minded people to meet, play volleyball, hike, go camping, bikepacking or swimming! =D

PHILOSOPHY

Host and Surf

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met many, many nice CSer in South America!

Interests

Swimming and Volleyball are one of my favourite sports. It helps me to relax and unwind. It keeps my mind of things. I love to travel. I am interested in getting to know different cultures and customs. Therefore a 4 star hotel just won't do for me ;) I want to see the whole package and not just the touristy stuff, if you know what I mean. I'm also very interested in music and theater. For instance used to work in a local theater once in while. The best part: I get to see concerts and other performances (for free).One more thing to know about me: I love good humour and like to tease my friends. But don't worry, I only trick my friends ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did you ever try to do a street performance? If not, here's why you shouldn't, or just why you should: with 4 of my fellow musican students we did some caroling in Essen 2 years ago. For about 2 hours we sang our hearts out. Here's what we got: €14,22 This equals about 4 cups of "Glühwein". I mean seriously?! So this is what today's people think of traditional, and might I even dare to say, professional german caroling?!

Hitchhiking 3000km in 5 days in Argentina!

Antigos Beach and billion of fireflies ...
