Heyhey my sweet angels! I am Lën, 24,years old and I– like pretty much everyone on this page I suppose – love to travel. I've always had this ache in my heart for the unknown, for people and the stories they've got to tell – let them be funny or sad, terrifying or heart-warming. My love for stories is also the reason I am studying Literature and Languages at University. So whoever you are, however you are, I would love to get to know you and and the places you love, hate and everything inbetween.

Disclaimer: I do NOT see couchsurfing as a hook-up-website. So I respect your privacy and boundaries and I expect you to respect mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first encounter with Couchsurfing happened to be a German TV show, called 'Auf drei Sofas durch..' or in English 'On three sofas in..'. The presenter of the show would explore a city via Couchsurfing and the people he had the pleasure to meet as his hosts. This show was really eye opening to me as it demonstrated a completely new and different way of travelling and meeting new people. And I told myself that if I would be old (and brave :D) enough to do it myself, I definitely would!

Interests

I really like to read and write, going to the cinema and to the museum, watch films and listen to music. Feminism and and climate activism are also two very important topics for me. So I like to write about them in our student paper. If you are interested to read some (and can understand German), you can go to https://www.lautschrift.org.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is really hard for me to choose out of many many great works of art I have enjoyed so far.. but if I must I would say.. some of my favourite authors are Karen Duve, Margaret Atwood, Margarete Stokowski, Sally Rooney, Judith Hermann, Ingeborg Bachmann, Patti Smith, Ottessa Moshfeg and many more. Favourite film I'd have to say Oh boy by Jan-Ole Gerster and Luca tanzt leise by Philip Eicholtz..
When it comes to music, I might have a slight obsession with Harry Styles. I also really like Florence and the Machine, Maggie Rogers, Aurora, Bon Iver and KIZ.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being honest, when it comes to my mental health.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can also teach you how to swear in Russian.

An ear to listen, an eye to cry and a mouth to laugh.
