CURRENT MISSION

Living and studying in Riga, Latvia!

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Carolin, I'm from Berlin and currently living in Weimar, Germany to finish my studies. I already lived abroad for a couple of years and experienced living in Vietnam and France. I'm pretty open minded and like travelling a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm living to see the world. I chose my bi-national studies to work later in different countries. I love to be a stranger somewhere and to discover cultures and traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I liked hosting people when I lived in France because the funny french university system allowed me to have 4 days off each week (I didn't like to lounge around all the time, so I prefered spending time with interesting people)! Currently I can't welcome guests to my place because I'm looking for a place to stay in Riga ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I experienced couchsurfing myself for the first time during summer vacation 2011 and I was very glad to meet all these nice people. Besides I hosted a lot of couchsurfers in Lyon, France and earlier in Hanoi, Vietnam too when I lived there between September 09 and September 10 (my housemates and I did this in Hanoi but in the name of one of them).
