Hey I’m Anne, a global nomad from Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪 (I left my country in 2019), and looking forward to meet amazing people on the way 😊 and yes I’m German, my heritage is German and my DNA test says 100% European, mostly Central and West European. 😂 (Just to get this out the way because I know how much people like to speculate about how I don’t look European/German) PS: I’m actually a blonde 💁🏼‍♀️😉

I lived in Miami, Los Angeles and London for a few years, now pretty much full time traveling the world but spending quite a lot of time in Dubai when I’m not traveling (usually the Winter months).
I’m a very open minded and social person, even though I’m shy at first (the introvert in me), always looking for cool easy going people to connect with. Energies are contagious...it’s important to me to spread positive vibes and to have a good time...we only live once, so we should make the ultimate best out of it.

I'm really super easy going and low maintenance, as well as very clean and somewhat organised. I like to network and socialise in moderation, too much can sometimes overwhelm me (bare with me) 😅, but also enjoy some time inside curled up with my crochet kit or a good book...trying to find my balance. Not big of a party person but I do like to go out and meet new people in many other ways. i'm the type of person you probably find somewhere on the beach or on a hike, testing my limits 😁 I'm also a huge culture buff, soaking it all in like a sponge.

I'm a big fan of travel blogs and stories, and I feel like there are not enough very informative and detailed ones out there. So I started writing my own travel blog recently after figuring, "why not?".
I travel soooo much, I might as well share my journey with others, because each of us makes unique experiences and mine might help the next person who is reading it and plans to make a trip.
Check it out if you like...no pressure 🙃 http://www.explorevolve.com
It's also linked to my Instagram. (Please do not send me requests or messages on IG, I won't respond. Only here please.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love the concept of connecting with people world wide, sharing travel experiences and stories, and learn from each other.

There will always be some black sheep who misuse this app, but overall it's been a great journey with CS so far. You do need a good filter for people here...but you live and learn.

So unfortunately (but absolutely necessary) I had to create the following list to filter...
1. I do not accept friend requests unless we have met in person ‼️
2. I do not share a bed or room with a man (with women in the same room is fine). Sleeping in a public room (couch) or private room is my preference. Understand and respect that everybody has different comfort levels...and that is mine. I’m always open to hang out and explore places together.
3. I don't respond to just "Hey, Hello, Hi...How you doing" messages, please put in the effort as I will do the same.
4. I don't respond well to flirting or dating attempts as well as AI generated messages - an attempt to do so will result in me blocking you.
5. I will not share my WhatsApp number with you and also won't contact you on yours unless we agreed on meeting or hosting. So there is no need to send it to me in your first contact message.
6. Fully verifying your profile goes a long way and the chance that we gonna meet on my travels is much higher. get the ✅ 😉
It also somewhat shows how serious you are about the CS community.
7. I’m only meeting people for hangouts one on one if you have a decent amount of references. I know we all have to start somewhere and I’m willing to make exceptions every now and then BUT if you are new to CS it’s more likely that I’m willing to meet you in a CS event group or group hangout which I like to attend whenever I get the chance 😊

I will politely refuse to respond to your message or request when I see you ignored the above as it shows that you didn't care to read my profile 😉

I'm big in personal development, I read and listen to audio books a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I gave up my home, changed my career from one year to another and then started to travel the world in a matter of weeks…
I’m a solo traveler pretty much most of the time, which can be scary every now and then but I enjoy it immensely as it gives me a lot of freedom and I can do whatever I want whenever I want without having to confirm with someone else first… it also makes me a stronger person and helps me working on myself, becoming a better person and being more social…sometimes 😊
Nevertheless I enjoy the company of others and even consider short trips together if there is a good vibe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that we will always be students learning from people in our environment and their experiences, as well as giving value to others and share our experiences and mistakes along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from traveling the world...good company when going out...I love food though and I’m a decent cook when I’m in the mood👩🏻‍🍳 I also love to learn cooking dishes from all over the world.
I’m into helping people working on themselves and not just improving but transforming their lives.
