My name is Vanessa and I was born and raised in Berlin and started to live abroad since I was 20. I lived and worked in Japan for 2 years, almost a year in Switzerland and I am currently living in South Korea.

Going overseas was the start of my passion for travel and ever since then I try to escape my daily routine by traveling as much as possible.

I am interested in photography and other cultures and hope to learn more about the world and myself one by one, trip by trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to travel by myself but I enjoy meeting people and learning from locals. Instead of staying in a hotel by myself I think it is much more fun to be able to communicate and exchange myself with fellow travelers, expats and the people of that country or city I am visiting.

Interests

Photography, visiting the theater or attending concerts, hiking, cinema, cultural activities like visiting museums or festivals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorites movies I watched recently were 'Whistle Blower' (Korean) and 'Rurouni Kenshin' (Japan). I enjoy reading the Discworld Series by Terry Prattchett and everything crime related.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organized a donation project to support a Hospital for Disabled Children in South Korea.

Teach, Learn, Share

Exploring a new place by foot instead of taling the bus will show you the real face of the city - the ugly and the beautiful sides.
