My name is Lina, I am 27 years old and I live in Hamburg, Germany. I am a teacher and love people and getting to know them.

10 years ago I was an exchange student myself in the USA and I had the time of my life! Ever since my exchange year I started working voluntarily for my exchange organisation. I hope that I will be able to host a student myself for a whole year one day.

When I am not working in Hamburg - I try to travel the world. Travelling is a big passion of mine and I love meeting people from other parts of the world. Every year I try to explore a country I have not been before. I always try to take a piece of that country with me back home and collect stories that I can later tell my own children.

Some things I enjoy when not/or while travelling:

I love sports and I love being outdoors. So I try to combine these two things! On a typical weekend I love being with my friends or family. We cook together (veggie) and enjoy a glas of wine. Usually I walk my dogs and try to focus on the little things in life.

I love adventure and being creative! If you are nice - I might draw you a tattoo sketch!

PS: I wear make up and I am a girly girl. But please do not underestimate me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think meeting people from other cultures and sharing laughter with them is a great opportunity for making this world a better place!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...pointed at the map, packed my things and found myself surfing in the Philippines.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to create real nice floral wreath and everything that I learned from my elementary school kids!

I love to cook and bake.

If you want an adventure companion - I can be that one!

If you have an extra bedroom, love and some food - you might be interested in hosting a student for one year. I can hook you up!
