About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting used to my life in Germany again :)

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a grad student in Munich. I'm pretty laid back, very communicative, enjoying the outdoors (especially climbing) and any kind of conversation. I really enjoy to have interesting people around me. Always up for random funny things or just a beer. I did voluntary work in Chile for half a year after high school and went to Vancouver in Canada on exchange for a year. I travelled several times through Europe and Southamerica. By travelling you get to know so many interesting people and learn a lot about yourself. Never stop travelling!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several people in Munich und couchsurfed myself in San Francisco and Buenos Aires. Every time was a great experience and y met an incredible amount of interesting people! I hope I can offer you the same experience in Munich :)

By couchsurfing I met especially people that do very different things in their daily life and have different interests. These people I would probably have never met in my normal life and I had some of the most amazing experiences with them!
