I am a happy girl. I love to make jam (from fruits). I also love to invite people for dinner (it's kinda' like my favorite activity). I study to become a teacher in biology and mathematics. Besides, I love music. To play it, to walk around with my headset listening to it, going to concerts and festivals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS is a good way of meeting new people from all over the world. It is somehow difficult to get an impression of who I am through my profile, but if you think we could have something in common, you are more than welcome to get in touch with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with CS was the summer of 2010. I went traveling through Europe together with two friends, and we met several couchsurfers on our way. All together a good experience! Our corporate profile: (http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=DJTCY1A)

Interests

I have a great interest in music, to listen to, go to concerts and playing with my band. Traveling (walking, running, bicycling, go by train, hitchhiking..), meet new people and old friends, cooking and baking, eating, literature, go to flea markets, politics, films, nature; both study it through books and experience it by climbing the trees and the mountains, swim in the rivers and the oceans, walk and sleep in the forests..
