My name is Sophie and I grew up with a sister and two brothers in the South of Germany. After school I did a year of volunteering in Togo, to get an idea what life's like down there.
I moved to Zurich in 2012/2013, to work as a flight attendant. Last year I quit my job and traveled Brasil for 7 months. Back in Germany, Im studying Arabic at the university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is great! And even better if you don't stay as a tourist but get in touch with people. :)

Interests

I like couple dances, especially Forró which is a brasilian dance. Beside that I swim a lot; I love reading, spending time with my familiy and friends, learning foreign languages and guess what? Travelling!
