hi hello, i'm cathrin but i also go by cat :)

i moved to Mönchengladbach to study but don't really have a place to offer right now. if you really need an emergency couch, hit me up anyways and i'll see what i can do. :)
i'm very interested in art, design, photography, nutrition and living a sustainable and conscious life.
i can’t live without music, i sing a lot and i like to draw or paint, swim, sew some little things and care for my many plants.
i guess i would describe myself as a very enthusiastic, caring and emphatic person and one might say that i have a great humor. sometimes, depending on people and situations, i seem a bit reserved at first but when i get to know someone better, it’s all good :) also, if you're hosting me, you can expect me to keep the space i use tidy because i am a quite organized person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

you can be in a shit small town but with the right people it can be the best place to be.
you can be in a huge city full of people feeling alone and lost, not knowing what to do and where to go.
locals make you feel at home and i'd love to see the city through your eyes.

couchsurfing also shows how you don’t need to be rich to travel.
