About Me

I am a student from Germany who likes traveling and getting to know new people.
I've completed a Master's degree in Psychology at the University of Exeter in winter 2018 and have been traveling the world since.
I am very interested in learning new languages and getting to know different cultures and people. During my time at the University if Exeter, I lived in an international shared house and met new friends from all over the world. Also, I've already done language courses in Spain and Turkey and was living in host families there.

I love getting to know people from and with all different sorts of backgrounds, interests, religions,etc...and if the other person is open to it, I'm always happy to have a respectful and honest discussion about all sorts of topics.
In my free time, I like going out with friends a lot. I love cooking, reading, listening to music and going to concerts. I also love doing sports. Mainly, I go running, train MMA and go dancing now and then. But I also like trying out new things. More recently, I've tried kayaking and Squash, for example.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a Social Psychologist, I am naturally interested in learning as much as I can about different people and cultures. Couchsurfing is an amazing opportunity to do that and to exchange experiences, hostories and opinions. This makes it much more interesting than staying in hotels where you mostly stay anonimous or in hostels, where I mostly meet other Germans :)
I'm not using couchsurfing as an alternative for tinder but am looking forward to meeting interesting people from all over the world with all sorts of different backgrounds, religious, cultures, sexual orientations...
