One could call me a very spontaneous, cheerful and organized adventurer.
Two contrasts in one sentence but you might see what I mean when we meet.

I have lived in two opposite worlds for half my life each, which helped me understand the beauty of not (yet) understanding.

Currently I started nomading around the world to visit my friends and meet new ones, getting myself inspired to write more. I gave up my comfortable life, gave away all my things to friends and charities and left. I know where I will be next week, that's it. Scary, but the most beautiful fear there is for me.

(I also love getting lost)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is (almost) no such thing as an unfortunate encounter of a stranger. So many times I hopelessly wandered and was greeted with open arms as if I was supposed to get lost on that exact path.

So why am I here? To show the world that open arms always go both ways!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first unaccompanied intercontinental flight happened when I was five. The airline forgot I was there and almost left me on the plane..

Started travelling at a young age and tried to capture these memories.
You can look at my Instagram (@jothiele) for a little insight.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and will expell you from your kitchen so you can have the full on 4 course meal experience! There is always an open ear for you on me, space for a hug and definitely a laugh or a little styling session :)
