Hey guys! I'm Caitlin, a New Zealand expat living in Berlin Mitte. I'm 20, have been learning and loving German since I was 14 :) I am currently taking a little space from University to see the world and get some experience with cultures and different people. Love it in Europe and know that in the long term I will be coming back to Germany to settle. My degree (well half of it haha) is in International Business and German. I won't be able to host anyone :( as the apartment I live in is not my own and I do not rent it, but when I get back home to New Zealand I will definitely be hosting. I am free to meet up though if you want a guide around Berlin :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing to make new friends, get great connections and to see and experience different cities, countries and people!

Interests

I love speaking German, adore street art, always taking snaps and putting them up on instagram (caitlinbannan is my account if you're interested). I love going to concerts, finding new things and constantly exploring if the weather permits me, and if not, who cares it's still fun :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the Beatles, always. I'm a fan of most music, i'm free flowing really with that. My favorite movies are The Reader, Pride and Prejudice, Batman the Dark Knight, and I don't know anything that interests me? I like a lot of movies haha. Der Vorleser is my favourite book and also In Westen nicht neues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I just hopped on a plane without knowing what I was doing on the 31st of December 2013. London Heathrow ended up Glasgow then Berlin. It's been a pretty crazy adventure so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what this means but I'm willing to teach German to people? haha and the lessons I've learned?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will clean up after everything I do, never a mess. I would buy my own food and sort out everything I do. No stress, just a relaxed New Zealander. If you want to do things together if you don't that's totally fine. I just want to experience the city and culture so I won't be a bother.
