Hi! I'm Judy from Heidelberg, Germany.
I am a PhD student writing my dissertation about trust relations in urban development.
Other than that I'm a travel addict, book nerd, and foodie :)
In my free time I do a lot of sports mostly running, yoga, and pilates.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couch surfing. I signed up because I'm planning a low budget trip to New England this summer, and I thought that couch surfing would be a great way to get in touch with locals and meet other travelers. Since I'm gonna be traveling by myself, I'm looking forward to making new friends via couch surfing :)
