Overview
About Me
Currently I'm preparing for my next long-term trip. :) I'm rather chilled, open-minded and love learning new things.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Cultural exchange. I think it’s the best way to learn about the every life in a foreign country, how people grow up elsewhere and the local cuisine!
Interests
Obviously I love travelling - like probably everyone else on here. ;) What I love the most is trying to understand different cultures and getting to know the locals. Other than that, I'm an active person: Swimming, dancing, hiking, running, scuba diving and still trying to learn how to surf - being outdoors in general is my thing.. Also, I love taking pictures. On rainy days, I'll read a good book or write on one of my own books, drink hot chocolate or watch a movie...
Music, Movies, and Books
Books are my passion! And I'm talking about the real ones with actual paper pages..
I wouldn't mind living with a background soundtrack.
Movies: I have a watchlist longer than I'll ever be able to go through. And still if you have decent recommendations please share :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Croatia: Cliff jumping, that was an amazing experience to me - because there aren't many cliffs where I came from. We also went snorkelling in a cave and dived trough a tunnel to the sea. That trip was just perfect.
Traveling trough Europe with my best friend back in 2012. Basically it was stressful, because we went to sooo many places, but also amazing... I got so many great memories, I wouldn't want to miss them.
Climb the Monte Subasio in Italy all alone, enjoyed the silence and met some hang gliders at the top of the mountain. I had the chance to watch their start and just really enjoyed their happiness.
Studying abroad in Canterbury, United Kingdom (2016). I met so many great people from all over the world, learned a lot, made some awesome friends and first heard about Strongbow Cider!
Taking a year off to travel (2017/18). So far one the best decision I've ever made. I met so many interesting people and experienced amazing things.
Another big adventure starts autumn 2024 - Travelling along the silk road and somehow making my way all the way down to Australia via public transportation, walking and hitchhiking and - cars, trucks and sailing boats. Honestly, I just can't wait to enjoy waking up every day without plans and experiencing what is yet to come...
Teach, Learn, Share
Sharing is caring. Whatever I can share, I will. :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share respect, my honest thoughts and view of the world. Also I can teach you conversational stuff in German or even some dance moves. :D And hopefully a lot of laughs and positive energy!
