Hello everyone! I’m on my way to finish my masters in Clinical Psychology. Before starting my training to become a therapist, I decided to take some time off and finally visit Japan which I have wanted to do for years. I did some backpacking in New Zealand a while back and loved meeting the locals through couchsurfing, hitch hiking and wwoofing. I love taking my time when traveling, getting to meet people and their different ways of living along the way. Can’t wait to meet you as well!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don’t want to be just a tourist. I really want to get to know the people and the local spots and a country’s true culture.

Interests

Volleyball, Theatre, Writing, Reading, Embroidery, Crocheting, Cooking & Baking, Hiking, Looking at art, Anime/Manga, Gaming, Obsessing over Hozier lyrics, being a plant mom, traveling, History…

most of all: getting to know other people‘s interests. I love listening to people that are enthusiastic about something :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Blues, Alternative, Indie, Soul, 50s, Swing, occasionally Soundtracks, Pop, Hip Hop… I‘m more of an artist or song type of person, don’t really stick to a single genre.

Books: anything. Currently reading: Butter (Asako Yuzuki) , Paradise Garden (Elena Fischer). I used to read a lot of fantasy, now it’s mostly fiction. I like distinct writing styles and interesting characters. I occasionally read manga (Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Promised Neverland…) but mostly watch the anime.

Films etc: anything with a good story. Favourite Film is probably the Lord of the Rings. Favourite series Fleabag. Favourite current anime is My Hero Academia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked through New Zealand
Directed a few theatre plays
Herded sheep, milked cows and made my own cheese when wwoofing

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you German or English and would be very happy to improve my Japanese
I also love to exchange recipes and would love to cook or bake for you.
And I promise to send you a post card from Dresden when I’m back in Germany!

My plan is to embroider a Jeans jacket with mementos from my trip to Japan, so if you have a nice idea, tell me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will take some German sweets with me to share 😊
