About Me

German and Venezuelan heritage, long-time resident in the US. Graduated with a bachelor's degree in history and German studies in 2017, and currently pursuing happiness in Germany.

As much as I love wandering through strange cities' streets alone with my thoughts and senses, making spontaneous and exciting decisions without worrying where I end up in life, I know the other side of life wants interaction with people. I grew up in a large family, under one roof, but we are each individual, and all the people in the world are the same in this way, under one sky.

My multicultural upbringing helped me understand early on that nationalities are an abstract and only circumstantially helpful idea, and that people are different/alike in so many other ways. Meeting people from anywhere, whether they live around the corner or across the ocean offers a lifetime of experience to learn from and reflect on, even reflect off of. This is why I think I am so sociable and enjoy peoples' company.

The things that are true about us all make the biggest part of me, I truly enjoy all sorts of things: the fine arts reflect all our creative potential and persistence, my choice to study history was for my interest in how humans have been and developed in all aspects, but to detail everything else about me now would make meeting in person less exciting :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
