I come from Germany and am now travelling in my gap year. Last year I graduated from high school. During that time and for a short time afterwards I worked. In September I went to Spain and lived in Jaén, Andalucia for five months and did an internship. During my time in Spain I discovered my love of languages, different cultures and, above all, the interests of people from all over the world. The exchange with people is the best and most interesting thing, I love listening to the stories and tales of the people I meet.

This is exactly what I hope to achieve with Couchsurfing: to get in touch with people who live locally and can therefore perhaps show me life there in a more personal and authentic way.

I am a bit reserved when it comes to conversations at first, but that usually gets better quickly, and once I feel comfortable I am very open.

I see my travels as an opportunity to develop myself and learn, and that is what I love about it. I learn from encounters with travellers and locals. I love to go to museums to learn about the subject, and I find the development of the earth and humans particularly interesting.

I get my strength from nature and sunshine. I find it incredibly fulfilling to go for a walk, to enjoy nature, and the sun makes me happy. I especially like going out into nature on my own, then I can relax and recharge my batteries.

When I'm in company, I really enjoy playing board games. I always have my playing cards with me. Those are the best evenings with you: when you can find a group of people to play with in the evening, perhaps with a glass of wine.
