I'm Lara and I am currently studying Literary and Cultural Analysis in Amsterdam. Before that I've grown up in Germany's countryside between northern and baltic sea and spent two years in Australia after having finished high school. I like to travel, do yoga, move through nature and culture, philosophize about the world and what's beyond and I like to listen to different stories.
I feel especially at home at the coast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time I've been couchsurfing in England for 4 weeks with my Cousin when I was 15 and after different experiences of staying in the UK I also stayed with people in Australia. I also hosted people in the village I'm from in Germany.
I love meeting new people, experience different characters, lifestyles and views. I think each Person you meet is an experience for life
