Hey there around the world!

I'm Tina, 35 years old, based in Berlin since 2013, but mostly travelling over winter time to escape the cold and follow the sun ☀️.

I am a bit nerdy Sociologist at daytime and passionate Dancer at nighttime. I just love meeting new people from all over the world, share stories, discovering new places together or just show them our great Dancing Scene in Berlin. Since 2018 I am very addicted to couple dancing and love especially Brazilian Zouk, but dance Bachata, Salsa and Kizomba as well.

My idea of travelling in general is to dance where ever I go and combine at least 2 of my favorite things in life: travelling and dancing! Sometimes I add Horsebackriding, Biking and some great Hikes to it ;-) I like to challenge myself and leave my comfort zone.

Looking forward to meet you! 🎊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2019 I started to share my couch in my 2-room-apartment to host nice and interesting people from all over the world to create a great intercultural exchange. On the other hand I plan to visit new people abroad as well. If I can meet dance or horse passionate people that would be absolutely amazing 🤩

Interests

I like meeting friends, see new places, I like sports (dancing, cycling, horseback riding, hiking, climbing...). I like good music and Im a passionate Zouk Dancer. I was a horseback riding teacher years ago, so I love riding and horses as well.
