ABOUT ME
Well... I'm a student with a Bachelor's degree in English and American studies and now studying Business Administration in Wiesbaden. Before, I studied in Augsburg (right next to Munich) and Stockholm, where I studied Swedish as a forgein language. I immediately fell in love with Sweden when I set foot on Swedish ground for the first time in 2010. I spent 8 months in Falun as an exchange student and had an unforgettable time up there. I enjoyed the great nature, the culture, to get to know the local people and from the rest of the world and make new friends. All in all I am a very openminded, optimistic and glad person. I love to travel, meet new people and learn new languages. When I'm free I try out cooking and baking new things - preferably with or for my friends. I like relaxed evenings, watching movies or series or just raeding a book and listening to music. Being outside is awesome, taking long walks and discovering new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
In general I really love to host people, no matter if they are my friends or strangers. Me and my flatmates gladly host Couchsurfers whenever we have the time for it.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first CS experience was in 2009 in London, where I stayed for the weekend woth a friend. In 2010 I stayed in Gothenburg with some couchsurfers. Both experiences were great. I met nice people and had a wonderful time. Since I live in Mainz I finally also have the possibility to host people.
