Hey there :)

My name is Kathrin, I'm 27 years old. I've finished my Master's degree in psychology in November of 2013. I took a year off to work and travel. During that year I went to Spain three times, vacationed in Turkey and was in the USA. I started working full time in October 2014. I've been appreciating my vacation days even more ever since, because you've got just so many when you're working ;) I work in a clinic for psychotherapy and am working on my psychotherapy degree as well.

I also teach salsa and bachata classes which is a nice change. I love getting to know new people and I really enjoy sharing my passion for dancing with other people. I started to dance West Coast Swing a while ago and absolutely love that, too.

When I'm neither dancing nor working, I meet my friends or talk to those on the phone who, unfortunately, live too far away to just go and grab a cup of coffee. I also enjoy reading, listening to music.

When I'm on vacation, I love going to the beach, meeting new people, learning about other cultures, getting sleep :), having great conversations, reading, dancing, and so on :)

What else... I'm uncomplicated, considerate towards other people, open and appreciate having a good time with people. I've done quite a lot of traveling, have stayed with a host family in the USA when I was 16 and still visit them regularly. I'm good with kids, during my year off I spent a short time in Spain as a Nanny and am still in touch with the family, too. By the way, my Spanish is okay, but not super fluent, which is why I also added it to learning. I like animals.

I'd love to get to know you, have conversations and hang out if it works out for both of us, but am also comfortable with doing things on my own and having time to myself and giving people the space they need.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
