Hi! I’m Ellie, an avid backpacker from Germany. I am currently working in Washington D.C., so I hope to travel around the country on my off-days!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have met so many open minded and inspirational people while Couchsurfing, definitely want to keep that up.

The idea of having a 'home' away from home is wonderful, especially when you've been traveling (backpacking) for a long time.

兴趣

Many things! Including exploring the local cuisine in each country (I'm a foodie!), hiking and rowing, listening to music, discussing politics and human rights.

• cats
• coffee
• vegetarian
• politics
• traveling
• music
• hiking
• backpacking
• sports

音乐、电影和书籍

MUSIC

There's nothing I don't like and it depends on the mood. I enjoy listening to jazz, but am also into RnB/rap/hip-hop especially Solange Knowles, SZA and Kendrick Lamar.

MOVIES

Into the wild (must see for every backpacker!), Wild (same here), The Beach, but also movies that mess with your head (e.g.: Inception!).
Probably all Sofia Coppola movies (Lost in Translation etc.)

BOOKS

everything that makes me wanna know the end of the story and keeps me curious of course! Currently reading ‘Invisible Women' and I recommend it to everyone.

教，学，和分享

TEACH

I can teach you some German/English/Dutch, but also how to enjoy a simple life without worries

LEARN

Always keen to pick up new skills along the way and learn about things I know nothing about!

SHARE

Been there, done that. For those who want to hear them, I have a lot of stories to tell :)
Ask me anything, I might have some advice for you and your situation.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Advice, a shoulder to cry on or last minute adventures!
