Hi, I am Rahel (she/her). I used to share this profile with my friend Emma, but she had to return home, so now I am using it alone. I love slow traveling, meeting new people and getting to know other perspectives! I am open for most activities, but I am not interested in dating!!! Right now I am traveling around in the Americas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet local people and get to know differnt perspectives, if you have time :) CS offers the opportunity to stay in different areas to see different parts of the city apart from the typical tourist areas.

Interests

I love second hand shopping, though I actually do not have a lot of space in my backpack. I am always interested in doing any kind of activities, but just chilling and chatting is also great! I love good coffee and to try new food. I like to play board and card games and I enjoy to party and to go out as well. Going to markets is something I enjoy as well and I am probably going to stop at most jewelry shops to have a look.
In general I have too many interests, I can get excited about most things, but here are some of them:

• writing
• tattoos
• politics
• reading
• painting
• basketball
• sociology
• art
• nature
• social justice
• learning new things
• activism
• museums
• listening to music
• interesting conversations
• cafès
• personal growth
• food lover
• exchange culture
• thriftshopping
