CURRENT MISSION

tackle the german language one 34 letter long word at a time

ABOUT ME

My name's Alexandra. I'm from the USA but am living in Germany for a year as an exchange student. I've been here since early September 2007 and am staying until JULY 11, 2008.

I'm fairly laid back, have a good sense of humor, and really enjoy traveling.

I had had no previous German education before I got here... but at this point I'm going to be sort of cocky and say my German's pretty good. Just kidding. This language seems impossible at times. But it's fun trying.

I like music, going to cafes and getting coffee and just having good conversation, and new people. Good beer is also appreciated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live with a host family and therefore unfortunately can't offer a couch to anyone, but I'm up for hanging out in Bonn or Köln or wherever and meeting new people from anywhere. I want to meet some Germans too!
