Hey, my name is Jen and I currently live in Frankfurt! I come from a big family and I love to cook. Yes, some how those 2 points are connected xD I love to learn new languages with my main one currently being German.

I will go on the books saying that my superpower is adaptability.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found during my travels that the places I enjoyed the most are the places I've been able to connect to the local. I cannot stress the importance it had on my sanity (when in a very foreign place) and just general peace of mind. I'm keen to hear other's people's stories and perhaps for only a moment get a glimpse into their lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in South Korea for 6 months at the age of 18/19 (with no family, and not for study). This is one of my proudest achievements. The only thing that could have made it better would be if I learnt the language better.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm certified to teach English to non-native speakers? If that counts in this box...
