My name is Lena, I am 19 years old and I am from Germany
I graduated from highschool in summer 2016.
Since last summer, I am living in the Philadelphia area as an aupair. I hope to get the chance to travel a lot and to meet new people during my year abroad

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, couchsurfing is a great way to combine traveling with meeting new people and getting to know a new culture. Other than in hotels/etc, couchsurfers have the opportunity to get insider tips from hosts and have someone to ask questions about the place they are staying at.
Furthermore, Iike the idea of cultural exchange (e.g. sharing recipes, music,...)

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy watching romantic and funny movies. Some of my favorite ones are "The Great Gatsby", "Mamma Mia", and "The Hangover" .
I listen to many different music genres, and I really like the acoustic versions of many songs a lot better than the originals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Réunion Island to stay there with a family for two weeks. They showed me the island and a lot of tradional meals which was an unforgettable experience.
Furthermore, I went to the United States in summer 2016 to work and live there as an aupair. I got to know a lot of new people, learned about the american lifestyle and had the opportunity to travel in my free time.
