Hi, my name is Jana, I'm 36 years old and I live in Berlin, Germany. At work (as a press officer of a Berlin sports team) I got the notice to quit and my job ended at the end of June. I decided to use this situation to take a little timeout and travel before I search for a new job. It has been a dream for such a long time to see a small piece of the world and to improve my English. I am in the USA for more than 3 weeks now. I started at the westcoast. At the 29th of August I will drive to LA. Then I will travel through the area of New Mexico together with a friend. After that I will celebrate the wedding of a friend in Chicago, and then go to Florida and visit the Keys. The last stopp of my journey will be New York City, then I will go back to Berlin after three months.
I want to meet a lot of nice people, see the beautiful things of the country and improve my English. I can speak and understand, but it's not as good as I want to. I hope that it will be a great summer and I will come back with a lot of amazing experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To save a bit money (because three months sleeping in Motels is bit too expensive and camping is not my thing) and to meet nice people and speak a lot of English :-)
