Almost a year ago, we (my boyfriend and my kid (2.5 years old)) returned to Marburg from a six-month parental leave to travel through Europe. After three months of cycling along the Spanish Mediterranean coast, in January (2023) we started an Interrail trip from Germany to Turkey via Switzerland, Italy and Greece by train. Along the way we had the chance to meet many nice people and to stay with some of them. For us, using couchsurfing has been a great experience so far and we will continue to use the platform for shorter trips and stays.

We also use warmshowers: www.warmshowers.org/user/103189
and beWelcome: www.bewelcome.org/members/Justus96

When I am not travelling I am studying Peace and Conflict Studies in Marburg, a small but nice city where I live with several flatmates, my boyfriend and my daughter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of overcoming the idea that everything has a "price". So connecting, sharing ideas, knowledge and my couch seems the most logical thing to do in a world dominated by speed and money.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depending on my mood, I prefer Reggae, Ska, Punk, Folk, Metal, Rock or Drum'n Base, but I always like to go to concerts.

If you understand German and like literature, you should read (E)qualityland by Mark-Uwe Kling. I've also enjoyed The Swarm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I still think a lot about our six-month journey through Europe as a very unique experience. It was so intense being together day and night and getting to know so many places and people together.
It was very important and inspiring for me to realise that we do not have to live our lives like the majority in Germany.

Teach, Learn, Share

On our trip I’m accompanied by my juggling balls so I can teach you the basics. I also enjoy to cook and could prepare you a delicious vegan dish!
