About Me

NOTE:
Please read my profile carefully. I do not have a couch, I can only offer the floor so you need to bring your own sleeping pad or mattress! Please state in your request that you've taken notice of that! Also I live in a small one bedroom apartment so I can only host one person, if you are more than one traveler please only contact me if it's an emergency.
Please write a little bit about yourself in your request and I don't like copy-paste messages. You'll need to put some effort in your request! :)

Let's see...
I am a very open minded girl who is always out doing things: hanging out with friends, taking photos, singing in the rain, going shopping, or (which would be my favorite): traveling the world! I am a very lucky girl whose Dad loves traveling and so the world was shown to me pretty early. My Dad must've passed his passion on to me and there has not been one year that kept me staying in Germany. I grew up in Munich and then moved to beautiful Regensburg to study Media&Culture..I stayed there for quite a while, busy studying, doing only short trips since I had a lot of work for school but the world called me again and so I traveled Indonesia for a month during break. Last year I was on a big adventure called exchange year. Until May I went to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, USA. Besides dancing with Cowboys, listening to country music and being a busy student, I went on hiking, camping, and climbing trips as often as I could and explored that wonderful country. I've sort of lost my heart to it and to its beautiful people and now that I'm back in Germany I dream of it every night. It won't be long until I'll be there again, I promise. A couple of weeks ago I moved back to Munich where I'm originally from to do an internship and write my final thesis. Therefore I will be pretty busy in the next few months, just so you know. I'd be happy to share my free time with couchsurfers though but please don't expect too much. I'll definitely be down to grab some drinks at night or cook dinner together though but during the day I'll usually be at my company or in the library.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time I did couchsurfing was in Scandinavia some 5 years ago when I did interrail with my friend from High School. I've done it in several European cities since it is a great way of meeting "locals" who can show you hidden places in their city.
