Happy curious soul, bubbly food lover and active deep talker 🤓

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”

Living and traveling to other countries can only make you richer and lets you reflect a lot about your own culture
Of the four countries I've lived in so far especially Colombia left it's mark.
In general I love to travel (surprise surprise :D ), cook👩🏼‍🍳, talk 🙃, dance 💃🏼 as well as to get to know new cultures and people.
I’m open minded, curious and easily excited. So please, tell me your story!

I've tried Couchsurfing a couple of times during trips within South America, alone and together with friends. All experiences convinced me even more of the concept. Sharing company, dishes, culture, languages and ideas are such wonderful things about CS.

My secret passion is to learn languages even if it is just a tiny bit. Of course I'll always be happy to learn you favourite word :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is about discovering new worlds, people and yourself. Sharing the home of a local and dive deep into their culture, lifestyle and maybe even their living philosophy can only serve the purpose of enriching ones own repertoire. Further you do not only get a place to stay but you will also explore the city/place more with the eyes of a local (and the tips of a local).

Until now CS has helped me widening my horizon, connecting with new people and there is always something new to be explored…
