I am open-minded, easy to talk to and always looking for new experiences that challenge me in some way. I am pretty independent and comfortable with doing things on my own. However, I also like to have others show me what they like about a certain country/place. Generally, I am quite sociable and usually get along with everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Besides the financial aspect I always like to meet locals while traveling. Staying in hostels and following the usual touristy paths never gave me the feeling of getting to know a country. I always appreciate locals who are willing to share aspects about their home country/culture. In my opinion Couchsurfing is one of the best possibilities to get in touch with and learn from each other.

Interests

On travels, I especially like to explore a country's nature but I am also interested in cities. Generally, I like to hike since it is relaxing and you really get a grasp of your environment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I already volunteered a lot both in my home country and in other countries. Here, I always appreciated the contact to locals and the creation of a genuine exchange in a win-win situation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to talk about cultural aspects. By giving insights about my own culture or other cultures I know, I think hosts can reflect about their own cultural perceptions. Also, I am happy to take part in a household by cooking, cleaning etc.
