My name is Clara and right now I am studying at Ritsumeikan university as an exchange student. I love to travel and to learn about new cultures. Learning languages is one of my many hobbies. I like to spend time with my friends, I am obessed with movies and series and love to read.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

couchserving is a great opportunity to get to know new local people and to dive in a different culture. While I am still young and with lots of energy I want to get to know the world.
Couchserving grants the perfect chance to do that.

Interests

I love music and listen to my playlist everyday. Just to cool down, to dance along or exchange new artists with friends.
Art is a big part of my life and painting is one of the greatest pleasures I have.
beside my huge interest in different culture, I always have the urge to learn a lot of languages and explore more about the countries and their history, politics and traditions.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to pick a favourite, but for me one of the best movies of all time is the matrix trilogy. Not just science fiction, but from action to romantic movies literally everything gets me hucked.
Furthermore I love to listen to imagine dragons and the latest music on the radio. But also all time classics like nirvana and bryon adams are on my playlist, plus the unbeatable red hot chilli peppers.
At the moment my favorite writer is Jhon Green, its great how he gets young people. I read quite a lot and I am always open for new books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love adventures : so from jumping into a waterfall to paragleiting I did a lot of fun stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

A while ago I started to teach languages in school. From english to french It was quite fun to interact with young students like myself. In my voluntary service I also got the chance to teach a lot of american sign language to young children and interfere with deaf kids.
I am really motivated to learn a lot about the cultural difrences and traditions of countries.
There is so much to learn about and I am always open for new things and oppinions. I am always a person to have a good talk and to share my experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do great "Kartoffelpuffer" (german dish) and love to teach origami. I always carry paper and a pen, so if you want a new picture just let me know!
