My name is Ysabel, I am 26 years old and from Germany. I did my MSc in International Politics in the Netherlands and have since worked as a manager in the hospitality industry. :)

I am passionate about politics, animals, yoga, sustainability, horse riding and theatre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and delve into cities deeper with the help of locals. I am looking for good conversations and making memories with people I would’ve likely never met without this amazing platform.

Interests

I am very interested in feminism, leftist politics, sustainability issues and anything else politics related and enjoy exploring different cultures. Furthermore, I love animals and enjoy being in nature, including horseriding, hiking and scuba. Yoga gives me some peace of mind and theatre is my artistic outlet. And ofc I love my Netflix.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An exchange year in Venezuela & A gap year in Eastern Africa :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a decent cook (vegetarian food), so maybe I can make us a nice meal or we can cook together? I would like to learn how to make one of your local/fave dishes as well. Also, not too shabby at making cocktails!

In general I can offer a helping hand!
