Hey - My name is Nomi! I am a photographer, currently living abroad. I am a very creative person, trying out all sorts of creative hobbies (photography, crafts, painting). I also really enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and running.
I am always up for jokes in the right company and am very open to hearing about other people's lives and perspectives.
I really value communication and therefore enjoy having meaningful conversations with others.
Besides German, English and Korean I have also taken Spanish and Italian courses for 3 years - it's been a long time though so my skills are a bit rusty.

I worked in social work for a few years and then had the opportunity to pivot into photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I value connecting with people in person and learning about their unique perspectives. I believe everyone has valuable life experience and we can learn from each other.
