I am Maren, 29, living in Leipzig for five years. I love going for walks in this beautiful city, going to the lakes nearby by bike, trying out sports such as Zumba, singing in a Gospel choir and relaxing or going out with friends.
I love discovering new places, already been to 14 countries around Europe, sometimes all by myself, 3 times as a solo Interrail trip.
Couchsurfing makes it easier to get in contact with locals, especially as I often travel alone, and to discover places outside of the typical sightseeing spots.
