Hi there and welcome to my profile! I am Miri, 28 years old, German by birth (but multicultural by heart), and I am currently based in Munich, Germany.

During weekdays, I'm often pretty busy working, cooking and exercising but every every other day after 5/6 PM, I like to make time to be a social human being as I really enjoy meeting people/make new friends over food and drinks or while chatting about cultures, languages, travel destinations, and the world in general. I love listening, learning and exploring!

Want to know more about me? Then continue reading, send me a text or say hi on IG! @miriamkristin_

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see couchsurfing as the perfect platform to meet people from all over the world, build international friendships, practice languages, learn about other cultures, exchange travel tips, and potentially even find new travel buddies?
Unfortunately, it is hard for me to provide accommodation in my current housing, however, I'd love to meet up and show you Munich/Germany through my eyes while getting to know you better, hearing about your best travel stories so far and hopefully learning more about where in the world you have traveled to.

Interests

I am an absolute foodie who is curios to learn about food traditions from other countries and spends a lot of time in the kitchen, either trying to create healthier recipes or just trying out new ones. Food and friends are two important components in my life, which is why I love hosting dinner parties with some yummy wine. Even though I am German, I feel more comfortable speaking English or Spanish, and I am often hanging out with international people. I would also like to practice my Portuguese but hey, I can be shy!

I enjoy being active - moving my body to free up my mind after a long, busy day (balance is everything!) and to get some healthy endorphins flowing. While it is sometimes hard to be motivated to workout when Netflix sounds like a good alternative, I would always prefer to go dancing to Latin beats (disclaimer: I am *not* saying that I am a good dancer), explore the city by bike, go on an adventure, or simply spend time outdoors in the nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and listening to audiobooks! And I do also highly recommend TED talks. Knowledge is power and I am a big learning enthusiast.
I don't watch a lot of movies but if I do, comedies, action and romantic stories are my go-to. I also enjoy TV shows that build up a long-term story or I dig into a documentary to learn about the world.
My music taste is quite varied, mostly depending on my mood. However, Latin beats, Pop Music or Bossa Nova are always my go-getters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite trips are always my solo trips:
× 1 year work and travel before university - 6 months in Mexico and 6 months in Australia
× 3 weeks backpacking through Brazil during carnival and just before COVID hit
× 2-months workation in Mexico to end 2022 and start into 2023

Teach, Learn, Share

I am all about healthy eating, physical and mental wellbeing, growth mindset, personal development and traveling. That's why I've decided to go from Marketing to Coaching, which is my real passion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Listening to and talking about travel stories, a big smile on my face with positive vibes, and good, delicious food if we cook together.
