I'm a cheerful person and constantly happy about everything I've got.

Since I'm only 22, I haven't been far away until now. But during my summer holidays, I've more free time which I actually wanna use for meeting new people. I've been an aupair in Dublin (IE) for 1 year after high school and right now I'm studying nursing at university in St. Gallen, Switzerland. I grew up in a big family with 5 sisters and brothers, which makes it easy for me to be uncomplicated, flexibel and to keep calm, no matter what happens...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all over the world, if it's for travelling around or just drinking a cuppa coffee. I'm very interested in foreign cultures and when I'm abroad, I'd like to experience daily life there as natural as possible.

Interests

During my free time I play violin and viola in the University Orchestra, as already said I love drinking coffee or tea with my friends and chattering about everything under the sun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love classical music- ok, I just have to, because I play the violin. But I'm openminded and love everyone who plays live music in pubs or public spaces.
I like realistic- mostly sad as well- movies, such as The Pianist. But sometimes also have to watch some romantic movies, just to cry my soul away .... :D
At the moment, I don't have a lot of time to read books which aren't related to my studies. But when I do, I love reading philosophic books or biographies of admirable people. Or just cooking books and magazines.... :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, there's no such ONE amazing thing, I'm telling everybody about. I just love my job - beeing a nurse- which needs heroes all the time. You don't show how amazing you are. You just help people to believe in their selves while understanding all their problems and difficulties they went through and you have to cope with them, no matter how mean they can treat you. You smile everyday and share empathy- I think I'm proud that I have this strength every day again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you a bit of the east of Switzerland, you can go hiking with me in the mountains or do see-sighting, meeting local people as well....
When I'm abroad myself, I'm not complicated at all. I just wanna meet people, who are interested in sharing a bit of their culture with me - or just show me locations, I have to see before I die.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Right now I have a small apartment for myself. It's really small, but I guess it would be possible to host you...
