Heyy! I'm Jacqueline and most people call me Jacky. I'm studying linguistics and French in Göttingen. Beside from that, I am scout and work in the youth centre of a monastery.

For more references: Please have a look at the account of my friend Sophie Krabbe (from Münster) because we did Couchsurfing for the first time together in 2018.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Photos of sights and places are online so why would I only travel for that? The people are what turns a simple travel day into a unique experience for me.
Couchsurfing is a great effort to make traveling affordable. It is OUR world and seeing it should never depend on money!

Interests

Adventures! :)

Long hikes and short boulders
Rubik's cubes and board games
Conversations and word joke battles
Parachute jump and snorkeling trip
Summer storms and meditation
Art explosions and excel charts
Times in silence and in community
Train rides and bikepacking
...
everything can be an adventure. :)

My main adventure is being a SCOUT. That unites a lot for me: being outside and offline, camping, community life, hiking, trying out new things, facing and overcoming challenges, traveling, a worldwide network, crafting with wood, teaching and learning from children about life, volunteering, faith...
I am guiding a group of scouts (age 9-13) and I love letting them show me the world through their eyes! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

When travelling, I try to adapt the best possible to your plans! And I don't mind sleeping on my own ground sheet or on a carpet. :)

When hosting, it is most important to me to respect your personal space and I expect you to respect mine as well. I live in a small one room flat and we gotta share this room together. :)
