Hey, I am Janina :)

I love to discover diverse worldviews, experience new lifestyles, and learn from the habits of others. Certainly one of the best ways to broaden your horizons!

At the moment I am traveling through Andalusia for a research trip on the topic of the coexistence of different cultures in this area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want to be your stereotypical tourist. For me, traveling is more about the stories you collect and the connections you make on the way. I hope to form some of them with the help of this app :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am fond of all sorts of Spanish music, especially some Reggaeton never fails to get me on the dance floor. At home, I prefer the chill vibes of indie music. What is most important for me, though, is expanding my taste. When friends introduce me to new songs and genres, there is always some takeaway, some music that sticks.

Reading has always been the perfect escape for me. Nothing beats the relaxation of a good book with a cup of tea on a rainy day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in the countryside, I hitch-hiked daily to get to town and met all kinds of different people. Likewise, I also traveled the country and got invited to all sorts of random activities along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you my experiences in the Caribbean, the cultural shocks I underwent, and the spontaneous adventures I lived. Gaining impressions of other cultures sheds a new light on your own. I am trying to get a deeper understanding of our modern society, now comparing it to Latin America.

I am a passionate piano player, hoping to pick up my hobby again once I get my fingers on the instrument. Some time ago, I played the guitar as well, so if you got one lying around, we could try to figure out some chord patterns and play a bit.

Recently, I got into cooking and would be excited to get to know new dishes from around the world!
