Hey I am Malaika!

I would describe myself as curious, always in a good mood and energetic.

Born in Germany, I've grown up in a multicultural patchwork family, lived in different countries, always surrounded by people from all over the world. So since I moved back to a rather small German town for University I use my free time to travel.

Art is a big part of my life, it keeps me balanced after a long day of engineering classes :D. So I draw/ paint and write alot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spontaniously booked a flight alone to the U.S for this entire March 2017.

Travel really does change a person, it broadens one's horizon and you get to know other lifestyles, and views on things.

I wanted to leave California, having met people that actually live in the cities that I visit, exchange travel ideas and experience cultural differences, get inspired and mostly - laugh and have a great time!

So I thought: "why not? Let's give it a try!" And since then I've CS hasn't disappointed me!
