About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently I want to find a working sewing machine on my local car boot sales to take my DIY efforts to the next level. Last year I discovered that conserving herbs in vodka (can) make a pretty nice liqueur, this year I want to give self-made clothing a go

ABOUT ME

Friendly and life-loving person. Like to travel and tend to visit the same places over and over again (as I usally use my holidays to visit friends). I really believe that a holiday is much more fun if you know people who live there (wherever "there" might be). Well ... I hope that via couchsurfing I can broaden my travel experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

If you are open minded towards other people you can make unexpected friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To be honest, I created this account some years ago and kind of forgot about it. Now me and my friend Alex plan a trip to Amsterdam. As we both always wanted to couchsurf I took the opportunity to update my profile and give it a go!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None - until now! I discovered next weeks couch surfing regulars' table in my town - seems to be a good starting point!

Interests

cooking, car boot sales (love them!),ScFi, british Series (Whovian)/ comedy (I adore Stephen Fry), I do like music but wouldn't call me an expert (anything BritPop, Rock, Jazz, Folk etc.), literature and cinema

Music, Movies, and Books

Lit: Salman Rushdie, Zadie Smith, Margret Atwood, Monica Ali, good old Shakespeare and Schiller

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

queueing in Russia, queueing in England (one has to experience both to really apprecicate both). View from Galician mountain top (and the realisation - I walked up here - with that enormous backpack on my shoulders).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer basic knitting skills and know the odd trick about making a website visible online.
