ABOUT ME

Lena laughs a lot, she loves connecting to other people if it's real, is into almost every kind of sports and likes doing crazy stuff. She wants to make the best of whatever life throws at her, without making anything unnecessarily complicated.

PHILOSOPHY

I am. (don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive anyway)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience a country when I´m there, not just look at it. And I want to offer the same opportunity to others. Plus, Travelling is one of the best ways to meet people!

Interests

What makes my life truly special for me are the people I´ve met and their stories (which I enjoy most if they´re told by a campfire).
I focus on democratic education at the moment and am thus involved in different projects.
I'm also part of the parkrun Deutschland team. If you haven't tried parkrun, do it : )
I love sports and pushing my boundaries, so I mainly do canoe Slalom, marathon and sprint, but I also like Climbing, surfing, running, swimming, horse riding etc.
The same for literature, theatre, (philosophy, art, photography)...

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to write down... Among others:
BOOKS
To kill a Mockingbird, A history of the world in 12 1/2 chapters, Wild Abandon, The Dawn Patrol (always makes me feel good), The Gruffalo, Pippi Longstockings, Wild, Harry Potter, The Importance of Being Earnest, some Shakespeare, of course, I love his jokes, Astrid Lindgren, Neil Gaiman: Fragile Things, Treasure Island, Sammfunnets Støtter, Jeg forsvinnar, Ensemble c'est tout, Naiv Super, I read A LOT of Karl May when I was younger, Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island,

I also like movies of any kind (except horror) as long as they have a story, for example the perks of being a wallflower or Léon, I just find them more difficult to list than books.
