CURRENT MISSION

Traveling without boarding a plane. Try to expand my comfort zone bubble again.

ABOUT MYSELF

I started traveling by myself in 2014. What was supposed to be a 9-month trip ended up being more than one year, and a backpack full of great experiences, good memories and many plans to discover more of the world! Unfortunately, the big plans had to be put aside for a while, because I started studying environmental science and nature conservation in Freiburg, Germany. In my free time, I still traveled a lot around Germany and Europe, did some workaways and realized how many beautiful places and countries there are. Right now I just finished an exchange year in Helsinki, Finland.

For environmental reasons, I decided to avoid traveling by plane, although it is sometimes very frustrating (30h on buses and trains and then you even pay more than with a plane...). Still, I really enjoy traveling slowly and to see how the landscapes change.

I really don't like to describe myself... but let's give it a try: I enjoy having company, but once in a while need some time for myself. Most of the time I am a happy person and laugh a lot. In big groups, I prefer to listen and just need a bit of time to get more comfortable and start joining the conversations. I think I can adapt quite well to different situations. I am easy-going, try not to have too high expectations and go with the flow. Most of the time, I prefer a beer in a bar over a night out in a club and camping somewhere in nature over a luxury hotel in some city. I think it is good to sometimes put yourself in unknown/new situations to get out of your comfort zone, make new experiences and grow by overcoming fears.
And most importantly, I think sharing makes our world a better place in many different ways!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing some years ago already, but never really used it a lot. On my last travels, I have done more workaway, but now I want to try a bit more Couchsurfing, because I think it a great way to travel especially around cities, get to know new people and also leave your comfort zone a bit.

Музыка, кино и книги

Favorite Movie: Captain Fantastic

Music: I'm not really good with Music genres. I guess, I mainly listen to Indie and Alternative, some Jazz and once in a while also some Techno. A pretty broad mix.

Books: Unfortunately, I didn't read much in the last years, but I am happy for some good recommendations!
