About Me
ABOUT ME
Hi everyone :)
I grew up in the north of Germany in a very remote area with a lot of farms and countryside around . So its quiet obvious: I love nature and being outdoors and unplugged from time to time.
After high school and 3 years of studying I started traveling with 22, I went to Australia for 10 months. That was a turning point in my life since I noticed how passionate I am about a free life style and getting inspired by all different cultures in the world. I am very curious and love to get to know new things.
After that I worked for a year and decided to take off again. I went to different countries in South East Asia and was in Canada for a whole year after that.
I lived in Hamburg for one year and I am off for the next trip to Spain now:)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to meet locals in the countries I am traveling since these are the most unique and unforgettable experiences. I did couchsurfing already in St. Johns and Vancouver and had a wonderful time and I would like to try it out more. I also went for a couchsurfing trip in Stuttgart and Rostock/ Germany last year. It was really fun to do couchsurfing in my own country, a unique experience and I met awesome people.
Only with locals you can experience the trueness of a country, its more authentic:)
I am also looking forward in hosting people in Germany as soon as I will have my own place.
