Hey. I’m Anke, from 🇩🇪 and studying full time in 🇮🇹 before moving to Bologna Centro I was backpacking the whole last year. I have big dreams and a shrinking bank account always, exploring as much as possible on weekends and free days now and exploring the beautiful areas of Bologna 🧡
So far I’ve found amazing budget friendly activities and places here and around the city that I can share with like minded travelers.
I’ve been Couchsurfing in many countries the last year and am always glad to find a free place, so now that I have a base again I want to give back to this community as a host when possible :)) offering a safe stay but even more finding outgoing people to be friends with eventually <3 and how great is it to have friends all over the world?! 🥹

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connect with locals, find cool spots in new cities and travel on a budget if you want to express it simply :)

Music, Movies, and Books

not reading too much lately, cozy season is for audio books and movie nights, I love to watch series that origin in countries I have traveled to, and also classics and trending ones. especially if it’s fantasy or romance <3 Fav all time movie(s) is Harry Potter, watched and read it in all kinda languages I could haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite moments is traveling solo through South East Asia where you simply cannot end up without new friends along the way. My trip highlight so far was Couchsurfing in Japan, where hospitality goes beyond anything and the people offer so many smiles and fun activities together!

Teach, Learn, Share

An open mindset is the best way to learn something new if you ask me and therefore I am currently trying to learn language number 5 🇪🇸 (not a good match with Italian ahhh so confusing) and 6 haha 🇯🇵 (not too great w that because HOW are there so many characters)
definitely gets confusing but trying to manage! :)

Also my advice is don’t stress too much and take yourself too seriously, life is tough enough already so take it easy! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Solo travel experiences and tips (I would call myself a Google Maps Power User), video content creation insights and advice, many travel stories and highlights (the bad and the good), recipies and cooking skills (definitely need to cook more), my insaneee humor (note I am German lol) a good mood and lots of joy for life in general ✨
