I am graduating from Azusa Pacific University this summer. Having spent the last four years in California, I am going o backpack through Europe this summer as a solo traveler. This is exciting, yet there's much planning that is going on to make this trip an amazing experience. I grew up in Germany, but moved to the States when I was 17 years old. I adapt well to new environments, and am hoping to make this trip unforgettable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing because I am a soon to be College graduate and am trying to make this experience affordable. By traveling solo I'm hoping to meet locals and have the opportunity to experience the culture, and traditions.

Interests

I love adventure. Experiencing new things, and getting to meet new people. I love learning about other people, and their traditions. I'm looking for adventure, and hope to create new memories with new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Electronic. Not the heavy EDM, but the chill electronic vibes such as Klangkarussell,etc. I am a big fan of all types of music, but don't find myself in the country genre. I love movies such as Love&Other Drugs, but comedies such as the 40-year old virgin, all the way to the hangover. I love reading, but am trying to get out of the fiction novels, and start reading books that have more education and literature behind them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Be able to come to the states and conquer the English Education system. I never thought growing up in Germany that this was possible but after hard work, and some struggles I pulled through and am finally graduating this may. I'm hoping that this experience can be the most amazing thing i've done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture, and my experiences. I am a person that is willing to help out where I can, but also desire to gain the full experience of what backpacking has in store for me.
