Hey I am Alba (she/they). Couchsurfing doesn’t let me change my name. I am a trans girly from Germany, currently living in Viena.
If I´m not studying I love to dance, sing or work on performace pieces. I am interested in social justice and queer spaces. As I am queer myself it is important for me to find braver spaces for queer and trans bodies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is a privilege. Tourism, especially fast and sightseeing tourism, is mostly exploitative and a big industry. This said, I try to travel as sustainable as I can knowing that I still stay a tourist. A form of sustainability for me is to get to know people who live in the country I visit. To listen to their stories and struggles. That’s why I am on Couchsurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love music. I sing and play piano. I can teach some basic stuff if you’d like. I am also trained in mental health and therapy science, so if you’re interested in this I can also teach you sth. I’d also love to share some language skills.
I love to dance so I am glad for any new movements I can embody.
