Hi, my name is Cristina, I live in a beautiful corner of Bavaria, South Germany, next to the Alps and I work as a language teacher. I‘m an optimistic, joyful, and mindful person who feels young in her soul.
I love outdoors activities and enjoy nature, cultural events, such as going to concerts, to the theatre, visiting art galleries and monuments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling I love to meet and share ideas with unconventional, interesting, and inspiring people worldwide, discover and learn about different cultures, eat local dishes, listen to good music and experience more than the typical tourist activities proposed by travel books.
