Hello Hola Hallo :)
my name is Mariella and I was born in Augsburg (Bavaria), Germany. After my school education in Augsburg, I moved to Kempten (Allgäu Region) to study Business Administration. Then I lived in Berlin for my practical semester. After that I moved to do a semester abroad in Valdivia, Chile. Now I am studying in Münster in the north of Germany Facility Management.
I am half German (fathers side) and half Guatemalan (mothers side). That´s the reason I can speak Spanish pretty well :) I thank my parents a lot for giving me the opportunity to grow up bilingual and also for their great hobby: TRAVELING.
I had a lot of opportunities to get to know the world, different countries, different cultures, different languages...
I also had the chance of doing a Rotary Youth Exchange year in the USA. I lived in Wisconsin and traveled a lot through the USA. Sixteen states in eleven months... it was awesome!
Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Conneticat and Colorado.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to get to know other countries and their culture. You can learn more about the people and their storries when you live with them not in a Hotel or Resort where everything is prepaired for the tourists.
Native people also have special tipps, what you should see in their city and which food you should try etc.
