ABOUT ME

I always hate the part to write something about myself. So I don't really know what to write.
I was born 1990 in Weimar/Thuringia in Germany.
When I was 16 years old I lived for 3 months in Georgia/US and went there to the local hoghschool. I also lived for 2 months in a Camphill community in England where I worked with dissabled people together. After finishing my A-Level I lived for one year in Ukraine to do my civil service. Right now I am studying "European Studies" in Chemnitz/Saxony but because my Wanderlust overwhelmed me, I went for exchange Semesters to Tomsk/Siberia as a Erasmus student to Riga. As you can see of my last destinations I am really interested into the Eastern part of Europe specially Ukraine and Russia. Right now I live till the end of June in Kherson where I will work for the Goethe Institut.
Otherwise I like to travel a lot, meet new people. That's the reason why I take every chance to leave Germany and live in a different country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't really remember how I got introduced to CS, but I always saw this as the most convenient way to travel, because you have the chance to meet locals and see the city not like a typical tourist.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly surfed, although I am happy to host people as well.
