ABOUT ME

Hey, I’m Martina, 27 years old living, studying and working in Hamburg. That’s a city in Germany with a big harbour and boats and a pretty nice place to live.

In general I would describe myself as a pretty calm, relaxed person. Whatever encounters me in life I try to cope with the situation as good as I can. I like to meet new people. I’m curious and careful. I try to be good and to treat people the way I would like to be treated.

When I’m not working or studying or organizing I try to spend as much time with my friends as I can. I love to be in nature, I’m often going for walks, I draw and listen to music, I go to festivals and to exhibitions.

PHILOSOPHY

Appreciate always the little things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a great opportunity to really „live“ for a couple of days in a foreign country and not really be a tourist. It’s nice to meet new people and share experiences with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be with people I love the most in good and bad times.

Teach, Learn, Share

We learn all the time from everyone either it’s good or bad.

And If you are not learning anything, I at least can teach you how to knit socks :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice conversations and I could cook a vegan meal for you.

And some time in future when you come to my hometown we can meet and I'll show you nice places in my city.
