Hi, I’m Martha, free spirited, highly active, slightly unorganized woman from southern Germany.
Right now my life consists of working as an architect, which I love, going climbing 3 times a week if I can manage and spending my weekends with friends or in being outdoors.
I also love crafting and doing artsy stuff. Really anything from painting to knitting to woodcarving to going to museums or classical concerts.
I’m bad at choosing just one thing to do because I am fascinated by a lot of things. It often results in me having an overstuffed schedule and wishing to divide myself up so I could do everything at once.
I’m not into partying or going to clubs so I won’t be any help to you on that. And even though Germany has a beer culture I don’t drink any kind of alcohol.
I don’t smoke either (of all the things one can smoke I don’t do any, to me they all stink).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be going on a cycling trip around the world in a few years time and since camping and Cities don’t go along well together, Couchsurfing is the best option to find a safe place to sleep with the benefit of getting connected to people who are as open to the world and all the little differences and difficulties that traveling brings as I am.

So since I want to use it in the future I thought it would be a good idea to start with hosting people as long as I have a place to accommodate others and through that give back to the community.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m totally into anything medieval-fantasy related and a huge “lord of the rings fan” though I have a passion for books in general and reading is one of my favorite pastimes.

I love broadening my taste in music by adding favorites of my friends. Since I listen to basically every genre there’s always something new I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been on an exchange program and did senior year of Highschool in California. That was one of the best years in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and experiencing new things. It’s a general curiosity which is a god basis for learning. That also results in myself knowing a lot of things so I might be able to share some interesting or hilarious facts on a lot of topics with you.
