MY MISSION

Collecting moments.

ABOUT ME

I am Chrissi, a 29 year traveler, living in Offenburg. Although teaching is my passion, I would like to see as much of the world as I can. This is why I signed up on Couchsurfing, a cheap way to travel and also the best way to get in contact with new people and learn more about the different cultures, traditions and the different places. This is very important to me - being around people, especially from different countries, I have a great international group of friends here in my region and I love to spend time with them, learn about their countries and language. My main language is English for sure. My boyfriend is American and we live together in a spacious apartment.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep on moving!

LIFE MOTTO

Always see the good in people and situations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to have the opportunity to stay at other member's houses while travelling. I am also interested to meet other couchsurfers for a coffee or a drink while I am around.

EXPERIENCE

I heard a lot about couch-surfing when we came to the U.S. I got super curious about the community, so I signed up and had my first experience in Chicago and I think it is a great opportunity to get to know new people and new cities, make more friends and learn about new cultures. I love it. And I kept on doing in and still do!
