I am Marie, 21 years old and I live in Hamburg, Germany. I am a literature, linguistics and sociology student that enjoys traveling and getting to know new people and places :)

Currently I can't host any surfers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me there is no better way to learn about a culture, learn the language and get to know the locals. Also you have a more "real" experience far away from the crowded touristy places and you get to know new perspectives and ways of thinking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play the piano and I am a self-taught bassist and I love meeting people who share the same interest in music. I used to play in an indie-rock-jazz-band, but I enjoy a lot of other genres too and I love to get to know new (international) music.

I am not good with movies because most of the time I fall asleep or can't remember the plot afterwards, but I enjoy the Wes Anderson vibe and Ghibli movies.

I am definitely the person who can't leave a bookstore without at least five books, that's why I could write probably 1000 pages only about my favorite books.
Always looking for new recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked 5000 kilometers through Argentina.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and discover new ingredients, spices or ways of cooking. I would love to learn new recipes from your culture and I can teach you some of mine :)

Right now I am learning three languages, French, Spanish and Italian, and I would love to practice my skills with you. I can also teach you German or English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook for you, otherwise I can share my travel experience so far and I have a profound knowledge of fun facts.
