Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is not just a convenient way of traveling on low budget (honestly, who doesn‘t like free accommodation?) but also great for meeting locals and discovering new places in a non-touristy way.

My couchsurfing experience has been great so far. I was met with so much kindness, hospitality, and openness from people I barely knew. Couchsurfers truly are a bunch of nice people!

Interests

Not sure about the order, but here are five things I enjoy:

- Music: I have been singing in a semi-professional choir for many years and play the piano and some basic guitar.

- Surfing: I discovered my passion for surfing in India a few years ago and travel to the ocean whenever I can (while trying to keep my carbon footprint small).

- Cooking: I‘m passionate about food and enjoy having friends and family over for dinner.

- Cycling: I love traveling by bike. My biggest trip so far led me from Munich to Sweden.

- (Social) Science: I am a PhD student of sociology and care about all sorts of issues related to science and society.
