Hi!
I am Kaja, an Earth and Environmental Sciences student from Germany. I love travelling and getting to know new countries and cultures since my first schol exchange with France in high school. I got to know Couchsurfing during my European Voluntary Service in Poland, Gdańsk. I spent a wonderful year there and discovered the Couchsurfing community.
For my studies I moved to Freiburg, Germany. I study "Liberal Arts and Sciences" with the Major "Earth and Environmental Sciences and if you want to know what that means, be prepared for a longer explanation... but I will gladly try to make it understandable!
Right now I am doing Erasmus in Budapest. :)
In my free time I love being outside, meeting my friends (so original), cooking, volunteering, reading, dancing etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not sure if I can write something original here... but I do think that every place becomes more beautiful and interesting once you know a person from there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
