About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the World.

ABOUT ME

I was an Au Pair in Arlington, VA. I lived in the US for almost two years and I loved it. I grew up in a small town in Germany and I got to enjoy my childhood there. Today I live in Bonn, Germany.

I studied Marketing at the University of Applied Sciences in Koblenz, Germany. I did my semester abroad in Nanaimo, BC in Canada, which was amazing :) I got another chance to live in a foreign country and got to know the people and the culture :)

I love spending time outside. Walks, hiking, enjoying the sun. I am really passionate about dancing and singing. Unfortunately, I didn't get the change yet to gain a lot of experience in singing. But I love salsa and hip-hop dancing t just want to look at them from a tourist perspective. I am curious to see how people live in those countries and what the culture makes it what it is.

Last year I moved to Bonn, Germany and started my career as a shift manager for amazon in a delivery station. I like this new challenge in my life and I feel like it's gonna be an amazing year.

What friends say about me: good friend, social, open-minded, spontaneous, always down for fun, a somewhat crazy : p

PHILOSOPHY

I want to meet many interesting people from different countries and with diverse cultures because I think you learn from other people and I want to face new challenges in my life because then you grow up and you get new experiences. But I will never forget to have fun and do things they make me happy. Because happiness becomes priceless when you have it and when you can share it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to say that I am now able to host couch surfers in my first own apartment :) I am excited to meet new people and show them around, especially in Bonn and Cologne as the cities are close. Of course, there is much more to share like Culture, Food and much more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't been surfing on many couches yet but so far I only had amazing experiences. It was always interesting to meet the hosts and we had fun and I got to the places that tourists maybe wouldn't get to see and I learned about the people and the way of life there. Fascinates me every time.

Interests

Hanging out with friends and meeting new people is awesome, cause I love being social. But of course sometimes a movie and a glass of wine is also very nice.
