Hi my name is Judith!
I am 23 years old and studying Geography in Germany. During the last two years before I started university last October I was on the road traveling and also working in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the United States.
I also spent a great deal of time in the Philippines living in a local family and working with street kids
My last destination was Kenya where I helped to build a classroom with some other students with the organisation "Weitblick".

A bit more about myself: I finished school in Germany and couldn't wait to go overseas to see more of the world. I really enjoy music, especially singing and playing the piano or guitar. Also I like reading books and writing. Moreover I am interested in arts and photography. I consider myself as uncomplicated and open-minded and always up for fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of staying with locals in different countries while traveling. That gives us a chance to experience the real life and not only tourist attractions and I believe that our journey becomes way more special like this. Besides I just love meeting new people, getting inspired by them and sharing travel stories. All the different ways of living amuse me and I am happy to share my own.
