ABOUT ME

Sometimes travelling solo, sometimes with others - I am Ronja, student in literature still and working as a waitress and in a bar.

Furthermore: although both of us are female, we are neither sisters nor married.

Essential: we like to tango at concerts of old punk groups.

PHILOSOPHY

Wearing hats and smoking a pipe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Allways suprised again by the kindness of strangers. I did not host people (via couchsurfing) so far, because until yet I don't have a couch, just a bed in a very small room.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Experiences: Heard other peoples legends and started to participate, which lead us together alone or accompanied by others to pubs, markets and great encounters. We had brilliant nights in Bordeaux, tasting wine and getting shown the city - so we did in Paris talking about psych-rock music all night, met a wonderful mother of two kids in the mountains in Colombia - got hosted by a couple one day after they got married in Montenegro.

Interests

We spend a lot of time in cinemas, concerts (Basically a wide range of music, experimental stuff, punk, trip hop, psych-rock, some electronic stuff) and in various kitchens and bars - We both like shortfilms, apocalyptic science fiction and coming-of-age stories.
