Hey,

I'm Mara and currently living in LA, escaping German winter.
Unfortunately I don't have an available couch myself right now but will try and host when I'm back in Berlin.

I'm not your classic Nerd, or classic anything for that matter. Currently studying: Cultural-Anthropology, Philosophy and Biology, because I seemingly can't get enough.

I love traveling and getting to know cool and interesting people.
What I do when I'm on the road is walking mostly, through the city, up the mountains or on the beach, I just love it.

I enjoy a good beer and discussions, there so much new things out there to learn and different perspectives to get to know! And you'll often find me writing.

I've worked on farms across the US and love any sport that involves a board ;)
I prefer bike over car whenever and wherever. And I want to cross and ocean by freight-ship at least once in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thought I'd give it a try, since I've never done it before, can you imagine?!
