Hi everyone

I'm Lena and I'm from Germany.
After finishing school in 2014, I went for a year traveling in New Zealand.
I met many intersting and inspiring people, made great memories and friends and learnt a lot.

Have less. Be more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am keen to meet new interesting people.
When I meet people I want to get to know them further than the small talk. I'm not good at that kind of stuff and why waste your time with it when there's so much more to talk over

I am looking forward to get to know the real side of the people, listen to their story, their dreams, their ideas of life, drink tea together, have discussing till early in the morning, drink more tea, sit together in pleasent silence, overeat on delicious meals cooked together, get inspired, learn, share, make memories

Interests

After learning so much about life during my travels I am putting it now to an academic level. I've started studying Biology in September.

I love Ju-Jutsu and climbing.
I'm into any kind of stuff that connects you with people, nature, gives you a new perspective, makes you step out of your comfort zone, pushes your boundaries ..

I am also obsessed with music and collecting LP records.
My interests are music history, the development of the different genres from the 1960 onwards and its connection to politics and political movements. Also philosophy, religion, psychology, science and questioning those things are topics I like to discuss and learn about.

Apart from that nothing is better than a hot cup of tea, cookies and a good book on a rainy day .
