About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
Make the world dance a little more!

ABOUT ME:
Hey, I'm Verena. I grew up in Cologne, a small but vivid city.
I never travelled outside of of Europe, yet, but time is ripe - i'm going to be in Costa Rica this September!

I share a 60m² place with soulmate Roland near the city centre. I'm both a night owl and an early bird. An afternoon feels the greatest when it's siesta time, which I love to spend in one of Cologne's Parks, a friend's on

PHILOSOPHY
Our last shirt has no pockets, the magic of life comes from caring for each other.
It's staying curious, honest and respectful towards ourselves and other beings.
It's learning every day, in how many ways we're related to this world and able to connect with it.
And to know that we know nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled to London and Munich by CS and already shared my flat with people from Denmark, Berlin, America, Brazil and Spain - CS was always an adventure with only positive experiences!
Even though my CS and travel experiences are rather small, they already showed me what the word "network" actually means. Contacts last longer than you might expect - we'll all see each other again one day!
