hi!
I’m Bente. I’m new
on CS because I love to meet new people, step outside of my own bubble and explore! I was planning to become a high school philosophy teacher, but felt like I did not know enough yet. Thus, I am travelling around, spending time in nature and reading as much as I can 📚 Now that I travelled more, lived in community and found out that there is so much of the world left to explore, Im not sure anymore what the next step will be ;) Besides philosophy and reading, I love to be active too: hiking, biking, swimming, yoga, going out, dancing, talking and eating 🌱 And also: I am a yoga teacher, always willing to share my practice and guide you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals, other travellers, getting more in touch with the local culture, finding a sense of community 💟
