ABOUT ME

My name is Lara, I am 28 year old and was born in Freiburg, in the south of Germany.
I lived in Cologne, Germany for 4 years where I studied my Bachelors in Spanish and Geography for beeing a teacher and moved to Heidelberg in Germany two years ago for my Masters and a second careen in Philosophy.
I am an open, active person who laughes a lot and gets along with a wide variety of people. I really enjoy to talk and listen to other people and get to know what they think about what's going on in the world, what makes them curious, what inspires them..
I lived in Mexico for a year ten years ago and also half a year in Chile two years ago and also traveled other Latin American countries and also some other parts of the world.
Getting to know and getting in touch with the people at places that I visited or where I lived has always been important to me to really get to know a country. Couchsurfing has always been a great experience for me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing offers a great opportunity to really get to know a country, because getting to know a country's people and exchange with them for me is the most important part to be able to immerse in an other culture.
I've been doing Couchsurfing with friends and alone, in Europe and Southamerica and always had enrichening experiences!
I'm really looking forward to more couchsurfing experiences :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from Chile to Bolivia with so many different people and stories which I won't forget.

And definitely also camping at Isla de Sol (the Sun Island) in Titicaca Lake in Bolivia, watching the sunrise over the lake and observing how a Alpaca passes by.
