I'm new at Couchsurfing without any experience and hope to find nice hosts who would welcome me anyway :D. I did quite some backpacker travelling so far but always stayed in hostels and never with locals. Want to change that now :)
At home I work in the field of conservation biology and it is probably not hard to guess that while travelling (and at home) I love to visit National Parks, being outside, do hiking and try to see cool animals, plants and landscapes. On my way to these places I like to visit the bigger cities for a few days and learn about the people, the culture and the country (I like museums).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far I was travelling mainly in Europe and South East Asia and staying in a lot of hostels. That is a cool way of meeting new people but it is hard to meet locals which makes a big difference in the experience of travelling.
Even though I don't have much space for guests, I like to offer to share my room if anyone is interesting to visit Marburg.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some knowledge about biology/conservation especially when it comes to birds, I can teach about vegan cooking, German language and maybe other things...

I want to learn as much as possible about the people, the culture and of course the nature of the place that I visit.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travelling experiences, vegan cooking and a hand to help if needed :)
