I am originally from Germany, but living in Madrid since 2022. I used to work as a social worker for many years with different kind of people (inmigrantes, refugees, families in crisis, persons with special needs). A job and a passion at the same time, which has taught me a lot about what really matters in life: being ready to help each other and don't be afraid of the unknown. There is always a way to go on, you just have to get up and start walking.

I am a very open and social person, always curious to get to know new people, places and countries, foreign cultures and traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been a CS member since 2013 and active for many years till the pandemic in my home town Frankfurt (Germany). Now it's kind of a second start after having moved to Madrid. I am very keen to meet new people, travel together, get to know locals at the places I will visit who can show me around, enriching each others mindsets and having interesting conversations. Just hit me up when I am around 😀

Interests

I love reading books, mostly crime stories or thrillers, but also about current social and political developments in present society.
I am also very interested in learning languages, reason for which I prefer watching movies, listening to podcasts as well as reading books in other languages in order to improve my skills.
Going out and meeting with friends, having a drink or just walking through the city, exchanging experiences, opinions and points of view.

I can share a lot of stories regarding every day life experiences that I have made so far.
