Hi, My name is Antonia, I'm a German work and Traveller and 20 years old.
I just spent 9 months in Canada and it was the most amazing thing I've ever done.
My friend and I roadtripped for 80 days, we went kayaking on Vancouver Island, drove up north to Cape Scott (2 hours of more potholes than road), drove south along the Oregon coast, were very glad we had new brakes on the streets of San Francisco, had the best time in LA with our Couchsurfer, saw Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon, went through Jasper National Park and saw so may bears, drove all across Canada to Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and Quebec, saw the beautiful East Coast of New Brunswick and went around Nova Scotia and on and on...
I love to experience whatever life throws into my direction and i'm always open-minded. I also love (!) traveling and meeting a lot of interesting people on the way. I'm a foodie, so I'm always interested in restaurant recommendations, but I also like to cook.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great opportunity! When I first heard about it I was baffled by the whole concept because I didn't think anyone would be willing to accept guests just like that. But once you think about it, it makes perfect sense and it's an amazing concept! You get to stay with someone who knows the city, they can share their knowledge and you're more comfortable than in a hostel. You'll make connections to people all over the world and once you're home and able to accept guests of your own, you can give back what you received!

Interests

Currently obsessed with sloths and socks (and sloths on socks) 80s music and skandinavian crime novels...

Music, Movies, and Books

Basically everything...
if it's good- I'll watch/read/listen to it... Love getting recommendations from people!
If I had to choose:
music-mostly indie,
movies- independent/ arthouse,
Series- way too many... lately friends, sense8, person of interest, skins, orphan black,...
books- mostly classical stuff

I do have a weird tendency to watch foreign movies/series in original language with subtitles...
