Hey :-) My name is Lori and currently I am a student in Bochum, Germany. I want to explore the world, meet interesting people and have late night conversations about God and the world. The more I travel, the more I find out about myself and the boundaries I have set in my head. I love music and my biggest passion is singing. I also enjoy drawing and painting at night. What else is there about me...I am bored by routine, I don't like judgemental people and I love watching sunrises.
What I have noticed about myself as well is that I am very bad at writing about myself !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet openminded and interesting people and get to know the place. Often, when I am in an unknown city I feel a little lost the first days, as I don't know the hotspots and am not interested in touristic activities and I feel Courchsurfing is a good way to overcome this.
