Hi my name is Larissa. I am 23 years old and I primarily live and study in Hamburg, Germany.
I'm a pretty easygoing, open-minded, relaxed and adaptable person. Honesty and straightforwardness are important to me.
I can easily get a long with different kind of people and I am interested in different types of cultures.
I like to have fun, try new food and have interesting conversations. I usually surround myself with genuine and unique people that like to do and think outside of normal. People excite and inspire me.
I have already been couchsurfing in Brisbane, Noosa, Byron Bay and Melbourne. I have got the travel bug and already been to several places in Europe and Australia. My next stop will be the United States next year.

I see this life as an opportunity and try to make the most of it by setting different goals. For me, it's better to try and fail than never try it at all - this is my faith.

PHILOSOPHY
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life!
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am always interested in meeting new people, especially from different cultural backgrounds than myself. I think in order to have a genuine perspective of life, one must try to understand or get to know every corner of the world.
I've found that I really like to travel together with friends or solo, and I enjoy meeting locals & going on spontaneous adventures.
