Hi there,
my name is Maria and I am currently travelling to Malaysia and Vietnam. After finishing my studies I decided to take a year off to make up my mind on what to do next, get new ideas, new insights, meet new people and get to know their stories as well.

I am originally from central Germany, studied media and management and within the past few years I was involved with different NGOs and working for an e-commerce company within the fields of marketing and communications. I love to cook (mainly vegan) and bake; I enjoy taking pictures and I am very interested in social entrepreneurship, seeking a way for myself to combine social purposes with doing business.

If there are any questions, fell free to ask, I will be happy to answer them :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is completely new to me and I am very exciting! I hope to meet like minded people during my trip to South East Asia and just share my experiences as well as get insights into your life.
