About Me

I’m a German girl currently studying in France. I’m really tall, nice, shy, cynical (sometimes), enthusiastic and flexible (people sag I can fold myself up like a Swiss knife).

I’m 19 and like travelling (as everyone here), open-minded people and music, food and culture. I think couchsurfing is a great way to connect people that would otherwise never have crossed their paths. Although I have never used it (yet!) I have both hosted people in need and stayed at peoples home abroad. This site makes the finding process a lot easier though! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanting to explore a place through a local’s perspective. Meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures is really nice in general, but especially when at a foreign place. Plus I prefer spending money on other things than accommodation (student on a low budget).
