*** I can't accept guests at the moment, as I'm doing an internship in another city and have my room rented out ***

I'm a student from Germany and I like getting into contact with locals when travelling. I love learning new languages and am always keen to get the chance to practice my skills.
I'm studying sustainable international agriculture and am very interested in topics about food security and rural sociology and development.
I like getting up early and starting the day with a lot of energy. Nevertheless I also enjoy hanging out with people in the evenings and I totally love dancing, which also may require staying up longer ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of giving other people the chance to travel for little money and to get into contact with local people wherever they go.
And as I don't really like travelling if it only means staying in a hotel and not getting to see the surroundings, the way people live their lifes and don't get to know any locals at all, well I figured out one of the most interesting ways to travel is couchsurfing.
I would also love hosting people and sharing my home with them, but unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment. However I'm looking forward to having the chance one day to be a host for couchsurfers :)

Music
now this is tough... I don't really have a favorite kind of music or musician or even a favorite song. This doesn't mean, I don't like music! I just haven't found my style yet.
I used to listen to hiphop, nowadays it's more singer songwriter, I like classic too, sometimes I like electronic music and sometimes it may be a bit more of rock and from time to time I also listen to charts...
but in general: music is great and dancing even more :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

oh and also moving in with my current flat mates definitely counts to "amazing things I've done" :)
