Hey y‘all. I‘m Sophia, happy bag of sunshine from Berlin, traveling around South America. 🇧🇷🇦🇷🇨🇱🇪🇨

I love to travel and to meet new people, because this is my favourite kind of entertainment. Added to this I'm in love with hiking and exploring countries on my own.
I travelled a few continents by now, meeting up and staying with amazing people via this app.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Internet provides A LOT of opportunities. So after I heard people invented a platform where you can meet locals and make friends easily they had me and VOILA

Im a scout thats why I‘ve been doing ever since I went to elementary school. This is why I love being in nature and living the simple wildlife.
Also I love cooking meals for and with friends.
I've danced ballett since I was 6 years old. Added to this i do embroidery, meditate, enjoy making and editing videos, illustrating, taking photos, visit concerts, art galleries, cultural events and watch plays at the theatre.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ooooh where should I start? Music is art and each piece is unique. I embrace all the genres and love to dig deep into their history. I’m a sucker for psychedelic rock, baile funk, ambient, house/techno, soul, …
I also mix as a DJ playing sweet groovy electronic music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can pass you my -sometimes- crazy wild energy (pretty contagious). I can show you how to DJ, dig deep into mindful discussions, show you amazing recipes I learned during my travels.
But most important of them all, I want to learn something about your culture and your hobbies.
