Hi there, my name is Sophia and I am a 23-year-old student from Dresden. I am studying International Relations in my final semester and aside from my studies I am engaged in AEGEE (International Students Forum), Amnesty International and tons of other things. In the evening I enjoy hanging out with my friends, going to the movies or visit theater and musical performances. I also have a good time reading, baking and singing along to the radio while I do chores. Oh, and I'm a HUGE Potterhead who also play boardgames - nerd alert^^ I love to travel whenever I can and also like showing my city to visitors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a big interest in other people, their culture and opinions and Couchsurfing is a chance to meet open-minded fellows from all over the world. Hopefully we'll become great friends, I would very much like to bring you along to one of the many cultural or otherwise fun events I usually attend with my friends. I am looking forward to meeting you and sharing my world with you guys :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are several:
- I went to the USA for an exchange year and it really helped me to develop myself and become the person I am today. That year taught me all kinds of lessons!
- I recently flew in a hot air balloon over Cappadocia, Turkey. That was beautiful!
- I spent four days in the Red Center around Uluru in Australia, sleeping under the stars and enjoying the beauty and calm of nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you everything I know about Dresden and Germany in general, including some fun recipes, silly words and much about our culture.
I hope to learn about your home country, your culture and most importantly about you as a person - your beliefs, your interests and hobbies.
We can share some great experiences together, and I'm willing to cook together and try some fun international recipes :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to exchange ideas, discuss opinions and share experiences, so we can definitely share a good conversation. I'd love to hang out and spend some nice time together, just don't feel pressured to adjust your normal schedule to me ;) I'm also ok being on my own. Since I enjoy trying new food, I've cooked a lot of different stuff and I can share my favorite recipes with you!
