Hey, I'm Jana and I would consider myself a cheerful, open-minded person. I'm currently living in Wiesbaden and working on a project for policy evaluation based on statistical forecast methods - which might sound a bit nerdy... ;) I love sports (especially swimming, yoga, hiking, snowboarding), cooking & eating as well as traveling & photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a simple and exciting way to get to know new interesting people. When traveling, I love to get in touch with locals and have also been hitch-hiking a bit recently. Back home, I also like spending my spare time organizing weekend or day trips with friends, planning bigger holidays or sometimes just dreaming of them. So I'll guess couch surfing will do its part. :)

Interests

Apart from traveling and sports, I also love cooking and eating, especially Indian or Arab food. Having a nice dinner with friends is one of my favorite activities. And if we even prepare a dessert, I'm absolutely happy. :)
I often go on weekend trips to visit friends or family in different cities and I love to welcome guests at my place.
I love photography and take way too many pictures, which is why I spend hours and hours sorting and editing pictures, but I still manage to create photo books of all my journeys.

What I Can Share with Hosts

…a great self-made dinner, if you wish - or just some nice moments and fun chats while hanging out together. :) I'm very grateful if you accept my request and since you are the host, I will be totally open towards your preferences of e.g. where to go, what to do or how much time to spend together. Looking forward to meeting you!
And if you ever come to Germany, I'd definitely invite you for a few beers (or wines, since I live in a wine region now).
