About Me

CURRENT MISSION

At the moment I am studying in Germany but I still need to travel and explore new places to be happy - after my big big exams in Sep/Oct Im taking a semester off for travelling a few months in Nepal, India an Burma. I am so excited to finally go on an adventure again - Im always hungry for it:) I really look forward to make some cool new experiences meeting people via couchsurfing.

ABOUT ME

Im a person that just LOVES to travel and to meet new people from all over the world. the more the merrier:) I´ve been already traveling australis, new zealand and thailand for one year but that was just the beginning.
Whenever I got the time and the money I book a flight or just take the next train to another favorite place. My dream is to be always able to travel and enjoy life.

PHILOSOPHY

Open-mindedness, Kindness, Hospitality, Generousity
I try to combine all that, because I think that makes you a lovely person

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was surfing in germany while I had a job in Stuttgart. Then, while traveling Greece and Istanbul with my boyfriend I stayed at the houses of some lovely hosts in Athens and Istanbul.
Whenever I was surfing, I got to know my hosts while having some drinks, going out or having something to eat together. I also like to cook for the people that host me, so I can at least give a little bit back to their great hospitality :)

Interests

I kinda like studying, I really like my student life and partying, but the most essential thing in my life is TRAVELLING. Really, whenever I got the time and the money I feel the urge to go abroad to explore new places. I love nature and hiking, camping, swimming - the more adventurous, the better. I also love big, fascinating cities, because there are endless opportunities to have a good time. But the most important thing about traveling for me is that I want to go "off the beaten track".
