I am Mascha, 26, and just finished my Masters in psychology and will be starting to be a trainee for psychotherapy, but befor that I want to travel the american east cost and get to know the country and their people as good as I can!

I lived in Ireland for about a year as I was an Au-pair and I've totally fallen in love with the country (feels like a second home to me now). Especially that time over there showed me how open-minded and friendly people can be and getting to know those people and their culture was one of the best experiences to me. I think the best way to get to know a country is when you meet locals who share their stories and history.

I am an open-hearted and respectful person who loves to chat, walk around the city centre and to get to know new people and their stories :-)
despite of that I adore cats, coffee and beer while listening to german rap/hiphop, irish music or any other music :D - I will be happy to tell you more when we meet up :-)
