Hi, my name is Marie and I'm currently living in Halle Saale, a beautiful city in the east part of Germany, with my boyfriend.
I’m working as a family therapist and as a Yoga teacher, which I both love. Before having such a settled life I traveled around the world for 1,5 years until COVID hit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love listening to stories and everyone has a story to tell. So on CS I get to know new people, learn about other cultures, see new places AND listen to such unique and personal stories :)

Interests

I like doing sports and keep myself healthy. I am a Yoga instructor and I'm happy to share that passion, as well as for Acroyoga, which is a mixture between Yoga and Acrobatic. Such a cool thing to try out! I have a daily meditation routine which I love and cannot live without anymore:) I am vegetarian and I like cooking and baking. I love being in nature and do some hiking and other outdoor activities. I go climbing every once in a while and I love swimming in the ocean. I love just hanging around with friends and enjoy good conversations.

Music, Movies, and Books

Aaaah I love music and books. My favorite author is Elizabeth Gilbert and I love both her autobiographies like “Eat Pray Love” and her novels like “The Signature Of All Things”. I’ve read almost all the books of Taylor Jenkins Reid (The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo) and I loved them all. If I’m not diving into a novel I enjoy reading about body therapy, Yoga and psychology.
I like some easy rock music, indie and feel good music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joining a 10 days Vipassana Retreat in New Zealand (that’s a meditation technique and you’re not talking to anyone for that whole time and you’re meditating for about 10-12 hours a day)
Quitting my life back home and start traveling around the world.
Walking the Camino de Santiago.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let yourself be guided by curiosity.
