Hey :) My name is Vanessa and I am currently backpacking France. I am in Marseille at the moment and really love it here. Happy to connect to locals as I've had many great experiences in the past with couchsurfing and I appreciate the idea and community aspect. Hope to hear from you if you like to hang.

I am here with my hula hoop and love to explore nature, dance and listen to or make music. I would describe myself as a person who appreciates life, likes a conscious lifestyle and owns her values, like community, respect, gratitude, co-creation, adventrue, fun, love & health.

Speaking English & German, currently learning French and Spanish.

Working as a part time graphic designer traveling the world with my feet and backpack, with no time limit or goals, completely guided by my intuition, making a dream come true.

Also I used to draw a lot, lately I haven't been doing it much but want to get back to practicing. Really into arts, writing, poems, literature.
Very keen on connecting with creative people & free spirits from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with locals... New languages... culture... friendship! Everything... I met genuinely amazing people here and experienced so much generosity and hospitality. (Let’s say 97% of all the couchsurfing experiences were positive.) Happy to host you in the future in Germany, too.
