Hello there, my name is Leonie.

I blame my American mom for my wanderlust. I love travelling and wish I could do it more often (when I neither have time or money to do so, I see hosting couchsurfers as a compromise). I´m originally from Heidelberg, Germany, and have recently moved there again after living in Leipzig for a few years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting interesting people, learning about new cultures and sharing stories. Surfed in Germany, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Belgium, France and Brazil so far - always fun and always different experiences!
