Hey I'm Andra and would describe myself as following: a passionate traveler, selflove and eco activist - always curious to explore new places and experience different cultures. I am very open-minded and try to step out of my comfort zone as often as possible since I believe it is the best way to experience the complexity of our beautiful world - out of our own bubble.
Since I finished school last July I have traveled to Southeastasia and South Africa for a few months. The experiences I gathered broadened my horizon and showed me how much we can learn from each other. I met beautiful (personality) people, saw stunning landscapes and learned what really matters in life.
Except of traveling, I really enjoy writing (journals, poems, everything), being creative, hanging out with friends, baking (mostly vegan and always gluten free), listening to podcasts or visiting events.
Before I start my studies this autumn I wanna continue traveling in Europe,
learn new skills and improve my language skills. I wanna reach out to people to shed prejudices and superficiality - we‘re all just human beings :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people - especially from different cultures, exchanging stories, learning new things and gaining experience. I think that the best way to explore a city is by meeting locals, it gives you a totally different insight than just staying in hotels and doing the typical tourist stuff.
