Overview
About Me
World-improving mind, dance-loving and big-hearted - this is how I would describe myself.
My family is the most important part in my life. However, I always wanted to see more of the world.
I have studied many different things but finally got to reach my M.A. in Intercultural Communication. Becoming a journalist was the perfect profession for me since it includes what I love: meeting a lot of people, making unique experiences and sharing them by writing.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Some years ago a friend of mine told me she was going to stay at couchsurfing-host for a trip to Berlin. She caught my interest and I wanted to join.
I am ready to meet the great world with CS!

- Travelling to Nice with my friends right after our highschool graduation (finally without parents haha)
- Having lived in the United States for a couple months after highschool
- Rome, Sardinia or Lisbon: catching the beauty of new places and getting in touch with the local culture
- When I forgot I was in Berlin while I was dancing Salsa (felt like I travelled to Havanna!)
- Having family, partner and close friends in my life
....and I am waiting for more experiences!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to roll your own delicious summerrolls or to do your first salsa steps.
Having reached my 30's now I think there's still so much I need to learn. One thing for sure is that I want to find out how I can enjoy my life even more than I have done until now.
With other CS travellers I would love to share great new experiences while discovering more parts of the world. And with the real lucky ones I might gonna share my recipe for zucchini brownies ;)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love making connections to people that I share values with or that can teach me new perspectives about the world. I loving have good conversations, sharing meals and laughing together.
