Hey! I am Julia, and 27 years old. I´d describe myself as an open minded and caring person. I enjoy relaxed evenings and reading books and magazines, playing table games/chess and hanging out. I love food, riversides and openair events.... When traveling I enjoy meeting people with different backgrounds, sharing experiences about life, daily life, future dreams... :)
After finishing my studies in Industrial Engineering in a small city in Thuringia (eastern Germany), I now live in Berlin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most couchsurfers I met were really interested and open hearted, outgoing, wonderful humans :-) Couchsurfing challenges stereotypes, surprises and opens peoples´ eyes for a more tolerant and humane society.
Besides, Couchsurfing to me means getting to know a city or country in an increadibly beautiful way as well as making new friends and building up your own small network all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a perm and woke up on an island that was no island the night before.

Teach, Learn, Share

Once, a person I met while travelling tought me how to juggle. I can teach you now if you want and I am also happy about everyone who is open to show me new tricks or ways to juggle :) Besides, I really enjoy chess and (board or card) games in general.
In Berlin, I enjoy being in green spots and around water. If you like, I can show you my favorite spots!
