I find it quite hard to describe myself. I would say that I am very versatile. I enjoy a party in the big city as well as hiking and camping in beautiful scenery. As a former International Relations student, I am very interested in history and politics.

Caught the travel bug doing a gap year in Australia after high school. Since then I did internships in Cape Town and New York, studied in London and Hong Kong but also visited some off-the-grid destinations such as Nauru, North Korea or Somaliland.

I strongly believe travelling changes people for the better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use every free minute in my life getting to know new places and people. I hope CS will help me to meet open minded people who will provide me an authentic experience of their country. I love showing people my hometown.
