Hi, I'm Clarissa.
I'm 23 and I'm from Germany. I am always interested in talking about politics and philosophy. Especially in a new country, I like to listen to the stories and opinions of the people living there.

I really like to read. I read every day, mainly novels. I love novels with female protagonists and depressive plots.
I also like to meditate. I did a Vipassana course in June. I'd love to do another course in a few months. I like movies and I go to the cinema pretty often. I love to dance and sing with others. I also like baking a lot, especially now that it gets colder.

I also really like hiking and being in nature. I love to swim in the sea or in lakes. I'm always on the search for people to do a hiking trip with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm quite new to couch surfing. I had my first experiences in Turkey with a friend who couch surfes a lot and I really really loved it. It was a way of coming into contact with the country which would have seemed otherwise impossible. I shared so many nice evenings with all the people I met while traveling. I'm so thankful for all the kindness I received on that trip. I really want to have more experiences like that.
