Curious, careful and unconventional. Like listen to music and to see new things. Currently discovering the definition of open-mindedness, because many people here on cs declare that attitude (and some just wish to be). Love is all we need, but sometimes we mean something else. 🫀☯️ Happiness is even more real when shared 🌞 My photographers page: https://www.instagram.com/cs.ph0t0/ https://model-kartei.de/sedcards/fotograf/370041/
Open-minded, gay, talkative guy! I'm an easy-going, fun and travelling loving. LGBTQ+-friendly I like living clothes-free (nude) / clothing-optional at home and on my trips. (When guest are coming I ask before) Open to learn new friends and their life's and stories. So I'll be happy to meet you as your guest or as your host !! I like to find new friends all over Europe/the world.
*Update: Not hosting at the moment* I'm Adriana. Some of my friends call me Daria. Chose either one, whichever is easier in your mother tongue. So more about me... My political views are what you would call "links-grün versifft" in German, which is basically a slur for people who have progressive left-wing attitudes, support queer inclusive feminist views and care about issues like climate change and support for refugees. The historical background is very different, but I guess you could say "woke" in English. 🏳️🌈 Professionally I am a social worker specialized in mental health and disability. 🦽 I also do a lot of volunteering with a German scout organization and other stuff related to helping people suffering from mental health issues and addictions. Some of the activities I enjoy, but don't do regularly, are: - visiting art museums and galleries - going to aquariums - discussing politics - reading books & listening to audiobooks - watching stand-up comedy and satire - nature fotography - drawing portraits - singing karaoke - dancing at gothic clubs - going to Anime conventions - writing slam poetry - all outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, swimming, rock climbing, skiing - road trips and traveling in general - practising yoga - going to the gym - handicrafts like knitting, sewing and diamond painting - learning new languages ... I am neurodivergent, so I am a bit different in the way I function from other people, e.g. - I don't like small talk much, I like connecting on a deeper level and tend to overshare. - Even though I might seem quite active and talkative, I am highly sensitive, introverted and need a lot of "me time" and rest in general to recover from activities and social encounters. I might be somewhat limited in the activities I can join you in. I am also very sensitive to light, sounds and changes in weather, so it is difficult to predict my energy levels.🪫 - I have some special interests which currently include everything related to J.R.R. Tolkien (author of The Lord of The Rings). Vegetarian/vegan consumption and a sustainable lifestyle are important to me. 🌱 I don't smoke or drink, but you are free to do so outside. If you want to get me a gift, please no chocolate or alcohol. I'll just pass it on. I was raised in a Christian household and I believe in God, but I am not going to try to convince anyone to change their worldviews. I welcome people from all countries, backgrounds, cultures, religious beliefs etc. BUT please do not bother requesting a stay with me if you are against rights for the women and the LGBTQIA* community or you hold abelist views. Last but not least: This is not a dating platform and I have a boyfriend in Germany. Please respect my boundaries or I will report you on CS and kick you out!
I am living together with my partner Ilmari (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/rapha.el.thommes) and our two kids (*2022, *2025) in Karlsruhe. I work voluntarily together with Ilmari in our project CO2ero with which we are helping schools to emit less greenhouse gases. For a living I am planning railway infrastructure at a company of the Deutsche Bahn.

I'm an easy going, calm person always on the lookout of new adventures and experiences. Love to learn about new cultures and their people. I love hiking and cycling, so cyclists (bikepackers) are especially welcome (a place for you bike in the house is provided).
I go out into nature as much as I can, with my bicycle, climbing, hiking, ski mountaineering... And I'm teaching music and politics at school.
I strive to empower all living beings, irrespective of their past or life circumstances, by fostering a loving, inclusive, and supportive environment where they can thrive and reach their full potential, while also protecting the planet. Everyone in our household is vegan and it's important to us that no non-vegan food finds its way into our kitchen. If that's okay with you, you are welcome.
I'd describe myself as a pretty laid back guy. I like taking it slow and do not care about much stuff - which doesn't mean I don't know what the hell I'm doing in life. I am dedicated to things I really wanna reach, I have a rough plan of what's right and wrong and what I gonna do - but no hurry. I love traveling and meeting new people, I wanna know and experience everything about every culture, I wanna drink beer with every nice kid in the world even though that might sound pretty naive. Maybe I'm pretty much naive but usually I try to trust everyone till I get disappointed by that person - for sure I have prejudices and pictures of stereotypes in my mind like everyone else - and I love to play with it and make fun about it. Please be aware that my humor is politically incorrect - very incorrect to say the least. So please don't be offended. Recently I was called "cheeky" and I think that this descriptive adjective suits me fairly well. I am quite a friendly person and can be very polite - but especially when u get the chance to get to know me a little bit better u'll find out that I am very direct and well sometimes ... cheeky. PHILOSOPHY If u think too much about it you'll never do it. But u should definitely have a rough idea of what's going on - or at least friends who have. I try to live life the relaxed way, keeping it slow and simple, even though it doesn't work out the way I want it to be from time to time. In general I try to follow the rules: Live off the beaten path. Think outside the box. Learn from everything u fuck up. Go with whatever. You can change it later. Every once in a while I have very idealistic periods in my life when I want to change stuff and doing all the make-the-world-a-better-place shit. I might be annoying during these days - I can promise it's only temporary and sometimes I don't give a shit about stuff.
I'm Alex 👋 I am an engineer that tries to make the world a better place and searches for solutions for common problems, and a curious adventurer, who lives to explore new places and likes to meet new people and experience things together✌️ I have a ton of hobbies and things I like to do and always like to try out new things. So whatever your up to let me know and I'm likely to join, if you want. And if you want to join me you're also welcome. Currently, I spent my free time with sports (Gymnastics🤸, Cycling🚴, Running🏃, Swimming🏊) and dancing💃🕺 (mainly traditional Standard & Latin dances, but I'm always open to other dances as well, and do both Lead & Follow), I also do yoga sometimes and there's a free yoga class every Wednesday morning that I like to join. Apart from that I like singing and Karaoke 🎤, photography 📸, hiking, watersports (sailing & windsurfing) and generally being in nature 🌳 I'm a flexitarian, means I can eat everything, but I don't have to, as I use to say, and try to reduce/avoid meat. I'm happy to meet you and get to know you to. And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask ✌️
Looking for good company and partners in crime.
Traveling opens your heart !
Hello, My name is Elena. I’m 20 years old and currently traveling in south east asia. Since I finished school I traveled with my bicycle and tent through Norway and backpacked in Portugal after walking the Camino Português from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. Currently I am traveling in Thailand and my plan is to go to the south of Thailand next. I would like to get in contact with different people and learn about their travel stories and culture.
