ABOUT ME

Hi, I´m Julia :)

- I love meeting new people and learn about other cultures
- I´m spontaneous and ambitious
- I love speaking and learning foreign languages
- I sing in the shower and sometimes even outside of it ;-)
- I enjoy reading good books
- Sometimes when I think about something funny, I have to laugh so hard, I can barely tell people around me what is so funny

PHILOSOPHY

Weine nicht, weil es vorbei ist, sondern lache, weil es so schön war.
(Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it was great)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to travel when I have the time, but when I don´t I think hosting people is the next best thing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Hawaii in 2011 and it was such a wonderful experience!! I think it´s amazing that someone just invites you to their home and doesn´t expect anything except getting to meet a nice person in return. So I´d love to surf with more people like my wonderful host in Hawaii and also to give back and host people myself.

In 2013 I was touring Portugal and stayed with 4 different host, who were all wonderful, super friendly and showed me around a lot.

I´ve also started hosting people, although I only had the opportunity to do so twice. I´d love to host more often.
