Hey Couchsurfing friends,
I'm Annabel, 27 years old, I live in the beautiful city of Strasbourg, France. Like most of you I like meeting people and exploring cultures and stuff. I'm very enthousiastic when it comes to languages, literature, movies and so on. I like walks and being in the nature, and cycling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great idea to get to know people from all parts of the world and to discover their home countries, cultures, languages and thoughts. I surfed some couches and participated in some events of the couchsurfing Saarbrücken group. Nice times.
For my semester abroad in Paris, I found a place to live via the Couchsurfing website, I'm very grateful for that. Always good to have roommates with a similar esprit. :-)
