As a digital nomad (copywriter/editor 👋🏻) I'm writing and travelling my way around the globe since June 2023 until June 2025. I started in Bangkok, spent 5 months in Australia and New Zealand, travelled around Asia, Central America, South America, Africa and soon Europe.

🗞️ A German newspaper is reporting about my travel adventures - now and then I write travel columns and travel update-videos on their website. Unfortunately everything's in German, but if you want to know more (or improve your German 😄), check it out ➡️ https://www.idowa.de/freistunde/blog-kati-auerswald-berichtet-von-ihrer-weltreise-2361889.html

I love writing (I'm writing my first novel during my travels) but I'm interested in a lot of things: I like culture and history (I studied european culture and did my final exam about buddhism) and even though I'm quite an introvert I sometimes like meeting new people (I can turn into an extrovert when surrounded by the right kinda people 💃)
I like fitness/sports, yoga, meditation, cooking and baking (I'm a chef and I worked as a cook in New Zealand, England and Germany), red wine, cider and all kinds of music, walking, hiking, modern spiritism and learning and developing new things and listening to new stories. Just before I left for travelling I discovered my deep love for boxing - it's something I definitely want to improve and dive more into it (love the sports and the mentality you'll get by practising). But I'm also interested in self-defense techniques.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe, that there is some magic left in this world.
And it's all about connections.
I love to make meaningful connections with the right people and leaving a spark behind. 🌠

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music as much as Linkin Park, Green Day, Imagine Dragons, The Beatles, music from the 80s, 90s and 00s (I'm a 2000-kid). 🎶

I don't have a specific favourite movie, there are too much good ones (and bad ones). But grew up with Lord of the rings and Harry Potter (I'm Slytherin by the way 🐍)
I love How I met your mother, old Spongebob episodes (I can quote a lot in German 😄💜), Supernatural, Walking Dead and zombie movies like World War Z and Resident Evil.

Don't have a specific favourite book (that's why I'm writing my own, haha), but at home I collect classic novels (Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Bronte Sisters etc). 📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Work and Travel adventure in New Zealand. I worked in a vineyard and had a great, fun time with awesome people - ever since I do appreciate a good glas of red wine. 🍷
I made a lot of unforgettable memories during my travelling so far, most of them with awesome people.
Such as: Visiting lots of movie spots in New Zealand, walking through the Hobbiton movie set or walking along Shibuya crossing - the most busiest crossing where Resident Evil 4 took place. 🧟‍♀️🧟

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is about sharing stories, experiences and having meaningful connections. ✨

What I Can Share with Hosts

experiences, shared memories and stories.
I'm travelling with my tarot deck, so I can read your cards (or your future 😜).
Also a lot into astrology (love zodiac talk) and share my knowledge about that too.
Can also share my cooking and baking skills - my baking specialities are German bread, scones, biscuits and tartes. 🍞🥨🍪🍰
