About Me

2017, after leaving school, I travelled to cuba and usa first and then entered canada for half a year on a work visa - Sounds like a typical Gap Year Kid, I know. But who says beeing such a kid is worse than a non-traveler-kid? while working and travelling in canada i got to know so amazing people (visited the usa a couple of times as well) and left to meet some of them in malaysia & thailand again. afterwards i went home for christmas and decided to leave again - australia and nz this time. i came back to germany - left again to aus - and came back the 2. time- this time on a work visa - again. i worked as a education support officer/teacher assistant for a while after being an aupair for a month (2 years old girl absolutely love & miss her). so glad that i have been able to get some experience regarding my career as a teacher this early on the other side of the world!

This was my couchsurfing-rpofile text quite a few years ago but things have changed and now I am a student of the english language + fine arts and education. i have three flatmates and they are not very comfortable with strangers staying at our place, unfortunately. but they are often not home at the weekends, so don't take it personal if i have to reject your stay. after so many years of couch surfing myself i would love to offer people a place to stay. so just send me a message :)maybe it works out

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

unfortunately i‘ve been getting weird messages so i feel like i have to mention why i am not here:
it should be clear but this is not a dating platform
if anyone confuses couchsurfing with couchdating - don't even think about writing me a message.

now why i like it so much:
I used to be super shy with strangers but thats not like that anymore thanks to pushing myself out of the comfort zone. I prefer couchsurfing because of the people as you get to know a stranger pretty well in those couple of days. and every person gives you something it’s up to you what you make out of it.
It might be a life changing point of view on something or it might just be the best dinner you had thanks to a recommendation.
And I am curious - I want so see how other people live their life - what they work, study or what their intrests are, want to know their craziest travelling experience - and see random daily life moments.
and even go back to a former host who became a friend. or them coming to my place which is not possible yet but next year as i ll move out.
