I'm a 28 year old girl from Germany living with my boyfriend Pierre-Henri. He is French and moved to Germany some years ago. Since I am just about to finish my studies in psychology we plan a 6 month trip (April - October) through South America. At the moment we live in Halle (south of Berlin) but when we return we gonna move to Berlin. We're happy to welcome couch surfers in our new home then. I sing in a band since 2009 (Kapelle Boellberg), love listening to live music, dancing, meeting interesting people, reading or listening to audio books and watching movies. And not to forget - I looove food! I like to cook and and to me a great part of culture is food, too. Besides my studies I made a formation as mediator - which means that I help people resolving conflicts with each other. Furthermore I try to help my own inner peace by meditating.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'd love to learn about the culture of the countries I visit. To me that's not about sightseeing first of all, but to learn from locals - about their thoughts, habits, how they live, what they enjoy...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Well...sitting on a motor bike in kathmandu was...exciting...
just as hiking in the Himalayas in a very different way.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Besides that I'd love to learn Spanish and dancing Tango and/or other traditional dances.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I'd like to exchange about my culture if you're interested in getting to know a little and to get into interesting conversations. We can cook together and share philosophies and experiences :-)
