My name is Mariama. I'm from Germany and lived in Westchester,New York for 1.5 years. After being an Au Pair and changing diapers from one day to another I'm back in Germany studying Musicology in Hamburg. Though my plan is to move to Amsterdam next Year to study Pop Music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At least for me travels are just as good as the people and the experience you have with them along the way. I find couchsurfing to be the best way to find interesting people, therefore it's highly possible that they know interesting places and give you a real (touristy or non touristy, bc both can be fun) insight into their city/town.

Interests

All kinds of MUSIC (mostly organic but exceptions confirm the rule and I always love when people can change my mind musically and in general). Therefore I love to explore music venues whenever possible and being introduced to new music.

Ultimately connected with music is DANCING. I love dancing and I love watching people that enjoy it as well and don't care how they look like while dancing.
Writing poems and songs, singing, reading, doing handicrafts, drawing, listening to all kinds of potcasts, going to shows and plays, trying new food and eating in general makes me pretty happy!
Therefore I love COOKING. And I'd say I'm pretty good at it.
But I'm genuinely interested in anything I don't know yet!
