Hey Surfers!
My name is Laura and I grew up in Germany. I am half Spanish - my language skills are just basic tho, but it just explains my hair- but I definitely live both cultures.

I love to travel and after traveling and growing up in Europe I decided to take a bigger step.
I worked and lived in the US for one year now and my time is over soon. I lived in San Francisco for six months and in LA for seven and I got to fall in love with California and all its different areas and specialities! My goal now is, to travel as much as I can, even tho my budget isn't high since I am working as an Au Pair/Nanny.
I have a lot of stories to tell but I love to listen to other travelers too! I like to exchange information about countries and cultures and to make friends all over the world.
I know what it means to be new in a City or Country and how amazing it is to have someone showing you around and making you feel welcome. I learned that here in the US from the first day one and started to do the same with people from other places!

I am really funny and spontaneous and I love roadtrips. I have the opinion that every place can be amazing, as long as if you are surrounded by the right people. I would describe myself as open minded, responsible and funny. I love to take pictures and I really want to get back into the photography again (I used to do photograph and blog when I was around 15/16). I also love to make travelvideos!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know and hangout with new people! It's boring to travel staying in hotels - you can't get the lifestyle of the people in this city and you are just in a boring room doing nothing... And because I think it's a nice thing and traveler have to help each other.
I also hope to make friends all over the world, so that there is always a place and person you can visit if you need to get out sometime!

Interests

Traveling, photography, meeting new people, bonfire, hiking , workouts, beach, roadtrips , cooking...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: a lot of different stuff, from hip hop to deep house - everything but country music
I kinda like piano music too, since I used to play it. I went so some concerts and the Coachella festival so I also enjoy live music a lot!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just packed one suitcase and let my dream come true: living abroad and travel meanwhile around - right after High School.
I went to Coachella. And I had the time of my life!😍
I broke into a hotel in SF to get to the rooftop to see the city at night.
It was totally amazing and yes the security caught me... hahaha
