About Me

I have been traveling since 2019, partially free, partially with trying to survive with some sidejobs. I'm very open minded to new lifeworlds and always curious to meet new people. I grew up in a very small town in the Bavarian forest next to the Austrian border. That's why I love nature, animals and hiking, this helps me to settle my thoughts. My friends describe me as a very positive, outgoing and energetic person. I had been working with refugees and migrants in the past 3, 5 years, which definitely had a great impact on my way of thinking about life.
Since I would like to work abroad on a long-term basis, I am planning to travel the world by part-time volunteering, preferrable in the Humantiarian/ NGO sector, where it can be considered to make sense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couchsurfing to get to know people from all over the world in an easy way in order to exchange opinions and experiences to learn from eachother, broaden one's mind and simply having a good time.. I travelled a lot by using couchsurfing and those are part of my favorite travel experiences! Still, as a female single traveller I am dependent on reliable couch surfing hosts, who share the couchsurfing spirit and do not intend to misuse the couchsurfing page as a tinder replacement. I am simply here to dive deep into different lifewolrds inlcuding certain behaviors, values, norms and I am more than happy to get to know new mindsets, attitudes, and ideas. I cannot wait to meet inspiring people on the way, who, in best case, can even offer a couch for one or several nights.

Interests

I'm very active and I love trying any kinds of sports (jogging, volleyball, skating, cycling, climbing, hiking, horseriding, swimming, rowing, aikido, athletics, kickboxing, snowboarding, skiing etc.)

Beside that my passions are cooking, learning new languages, photographing and music.
