Hey there!
I'm Lena, 30 years old, originally from Germany and I’ve never really stopped wandering.

Over the past decade, I’ve traveled to more than 40 countries, lived in Spain, India and Sri Lanka, and currently work in cultural project management while slowly building my own remote business in yoga, conscious travel, and creative education.

I’m curious, thoughtful, and always up for a good conversation (about life, books, spirituality, weird dreams, or just what’s going on in your city). I love connecting with people and learning how others live, think, and create meaning.

I’ve been practicing yoga and mindfulness for several years, and I now offer small workshops that combine nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and yoga philosophy. But I’m also just someone who loves good food, street art, sunset walks, music, and those random moments of magic that happen when you travel slow and stay open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe in community, connection, and exchange. Hotels are comfortable, but they’ll never teach you how people really live in a place. Couchsurfing has given me some of the most meaningful memories of my life – and I hope to pass that on.

I travel to learn, get inspired and fall in love with the world. I love to hear and share stories, music (I always bring a good playlist)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most powerful things I’ve ever done was return home after 1.5 years of traveling, heartbroken, exhausted, and overwhelmed by panic attacks. I could have stayed lost, but I chose to fight my way back - step by step. Starting my new job while navigating anxiety felt like climbing a mountain without a map.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can share calming yoga flows, breathwork, and tools for nervous system regulation – especially if you’ve never tried it before. I also love talking about personal growth, emotional healing, slow travel, and what it means to live a meaningful life.

Learn:
I’m always curious to learn how other people live, what they believe in, and what brings them joy. Whether it’s local traditions, a favorite hiking trail, or your perspective on life – I’m here to listen and learn.

Share:
Stories from my travels, insights from journaling and self-work, playlists, calm energy, and heartfelt presence. I believe that the best moments happen when we share a little bit of our inner world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep conversations, a calming presence, and a lot of gratitude. I’m always happy to share stories from the road, talk about yoga, travel, or personal growth, and offer a relaxing yoga or breathwork session if you're interested. I'm curious, respectful, and love connecting with people beyond small talk.

I’m not much of a cook but I’m great at doing the dishes and bringing good energy to the table. :)
