I'm Irena from Germany. I work as a teacher for German and Spanish at a secondary school in Bielefeld.
I'm interested in music, sports, meeting up with friends, I love coffee, wine, good food and especially traveling around the world.
I’m a calm and respectful person. I’m open minded and always interested in learning something new. I like to spend time with positive people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of traveling to an unknown place and meet people there, irrespective of whether they are local or also travelers. Couchsurfing offers a very good way to find a shared place to sleep and to know people of different cultures and countries.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like pop music and reggaeton, but in general I don’t mind as long as you can dance to the music.
Mostly I like to read texts about human psychology , self-help books or personal growth, but in recent times I haven’t read many books...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a camel in the Moroccan desert before I spend a night out there under the stars, which was definitely one of the best experiences I’ve made until now!

On my trip to Uruguay I was hitchhiking for the first time and in the end I did the whole trip “a dedo”.

Thanks to COVID-19 I spend a 18 days quarantine in a hostel in Cusco with 14 other guests from different nationalities. During these days we had a lot of fun and with two other German guys we wrote 4 different quarantine songs. So maybe I’ll present you some of them!

Teach, Learn, Share

As I am a Les Mills BodyPump and BodyAttack Instructor I can show you some movements haha... furthermore I can teach you some German or Spanish if you want. Since I love cooking I’d be also glad to share some of my “skills” with you.

I’m always interested in learning new things, that’s why I love traveling and meeting people. Hopefully you can also teach me something about your culture and/or your personal skills.
