Hi, I´m Amelie. I´m a photographer, I like watching people, architecture, life - it's interesting what happens around you when you just hold on for a second. My big passion is baking and dancing, mostly contemporary or contact. Cows are the most beautiful souls and things that make me happy are wind, the sea, smiling people and the sounds of nature. Taddaaa, that's me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know people and hear about their stories and experiences. It's amazing how kind people are and it's such a good way to get in touch with the locals!

Interests

I am interested in people, music, learning languages, get to know new cultures, cooking and eating :), photography, going to art exhibitions/ photo exhibitions,...

because people often text me to hang out/ have drinks:
I am not that type of person who goes out for a beer... and CS isn’t a dating App.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got the chance to live with a host family for 6 months in the United States and to get to know their life, traditions and culture. Although it's already more than 9 years ago we still keep in touch.

2020, I did workaway for the first time. I stepped out of my comfort zone, first a bit frightening, but in the end amazing!

I found my best friend in another country.

Teach, Learn, Share

If it interests you I can show you how to do analog photography (you have to stop me when I'm talking to much about it :)), I can show you cool places to dance in Berlin (not the club kind of dance thing, more like improvisation dancing, 5rhythms, contact dance,..) and can recommend ongoing exhibits :).
