hey, i'm fiona, a german sociology student from berlin.
i don't want to miss cooking together - so show me your favorite dishes and recipes, i am keen on experiencing new flavors and foods.
i usually listen to music the whole day and would love to share/exchange some nice tunes;
for me a good cup of tea beats every coffee, taking a long walk will always lift up your mood, being respectful to our environment and nature is necessary for a sustainable living, a terrific exhibition widens your horizon, second hand over commercial clothes. take a few minutes in the morning or evening and do some yoga or meditation exercises - it will get you smooth through the day (or night)!

i've lived in japan for the last year and i am planning to go back for another month with my boyfriend this march/april. we would be glad to spend time with local people, get to know their favorite places, thoughts and stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i think you get to know the culture, the city/country and their dwellers much more intense when you share your thoughts, experiences and home. it's exciting to discover small and unknown places far off the troubled and crowded areas. the best thrift shop and your favourite bar won't be listed in my travel guide!
