Hello there!

I am new to this platform and don’t have any experience yet, but I am here to change that! The concept is beautiful and I am looking forward to being part of this community! Exchanging life stories, happy moments and making new friends is what I look for on this platform. ☺️

My name is Valeska, I am 25 and I am originally from Germany. After studying biology I finally had the guts to apply for veterinary medicine, which I am now happily studying in Vienna! My dream is to become a wildlife veterinarian and live abroad. 🦒🐘🦏🦓

I grew up in East Africa (Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania) until the age of 13 and have been living in Europe for almost 12 years now. Next to dancing, photography and painting, I also enjoy cooking/baking and of course traveling!

After school I traveled for 7 months and visited Cuba, New Zealand, Australia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam.

In August 2022 I am doing an Interrail trip through France and Spain. Looking forward to meeting interesting characters, learning about other cultures and listening to many life stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet a lot of fun and interesting people and spend good times travelling, exploring and talking with them.

Interests

My biggest passion is dance! When I hear music, my limbs just want to move.
I also enjoy photography, art, hand crafting and cooking and of course traveling!
Meeting people from different backgrounds and countries and sharing beautiful moments together is what I aim for during my travels.
I also have an interest in animals and wildlife conservation and hope to contribute keeping our planet's biodiversity safe.
