I will make this quick, I promise! I am Karen, 18 years old and from Germany. Currently I am participating in an European Voluntary Service placed in Rotterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, learn about new cultures and see the world. How is hosting and traveling in exchange not the greatest thing to do?

Interests

As I already mentioned I am a passionate tennis player. Other sports I like to do is swimming and Yoga. I love hanging out with friends and for that, it really doesn't matter to me where it is a local park, our favorite bar or just chilling at each other's home.

Music, Movies, and Books

You can get me with almost every single song that is to be found out there: Rolling Stones, Michael, Amy, Eminem, John Mayer.
When it comes to books, I prefer thrillers over cheesy, romantic, already-heard stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, that has definitely been my voluntary service. It has been the most wonderful, challenging time of my life yet: met amazing people, got to learn a lot about life, society, politics. I found friends for life and developed an even greater view on and openness for different things and opinions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to hear other people's opinion about literally anything. Show me your favorite TV series, tell me if you think Tennis is an elite's sport ( I play tennis for 12 years of my life now - just mentioning).
I love cooking and trying out new recipes so if you got something good on your hands there that would be great!!
