Hello there, my name is Mara, I am 25 years old and currently living in lovely cologne, studying social work and figuring out what I’m doing after that, maybe doing something completely different.

I haven’t been Couchsurfing for a while now and I really miss the wonderful exchange and connection 2 complete strangers can develop in a short period of time :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love getting to know a new place through the eyes of the people who live their. Also it is just wonderful learning from all different kind of persons, exchanging stories and finding new ways of thinking and living

Interests

I often switch hobbies and am excited to try new things. But my all time favourites are: Running, yoga, reading, music, boildering, chess and painting

• yoga
• music
• art
• ukulele
• nature
• techno
• jogging
• analog photography

Music, Movies, and Books

It’s an interesting mixture and depends on the current phase I’m going through. Here are some artists I can always listen to:

Khruangbin
The strokes
Molchat Doma
Ludovico Einaudi
The Cure
CARR

My absolute favourite books at the moment are “where the crawdads sing” and “The history of the bees”

Movie: poor things, burn after reading
