About me:

I´m a 24 year old girl from beautiful South Germany. After my Bachelor in Freiburg and several other destinations, it occureded that I´ve been living in quite a rural area near the lake Constance for almost a year now. Love the nature, the calm and the lakes here! I work in a Camphill Community, where I work with people with special needs, both in their homes as well as in the "demeter"-garden, where we grow vegetables.

What friends say about me is that I always try out new things and then new things again, not keeping on doing/sticking to the other ones. Maybe because I´m curious about many different things and kind of collecting experiences. In my mind, every experience, good or bad one, is, in the first place, an experience and therefor valuable.
I was also told I was good at listening and "mediation". Plus I can give good hugs! :D
Usually I like having long funny or deep conversations and I´m very interested in people´s stories. Depending on my mood I can also sometimes be quite calm though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet locals and share experiences :)
Not being a stereotype of a German tourist :D

Interests

I´m a quite socializing person, I´d say, love to just meet my friends, my family or meet new people :)
However, doing things alone is good and important sometimes. I can enjoy that a lot, too.

else:

going to concerts or festivals (preferably open air and mostly in summer :) )

listen to/play music myself (piano and some guitar and drums), unfortunately still on beginner level, but nevermind

dancing (Salsa, Folk or just randomly :D), going out. Dancing just makes really happy :)

gardening

jogging or else hiking in awesome landscapes. Good to clear one´s mind :)

some handcraft (knitting/sewing)

Yoga (still eager to learn more about it :) ) & Meditation

languages (it´s always fun learning something in other languages, besides English I´ve tried Spanish and Danish so far, having developed quite a moderate level in Spanish, hopefully I can build on my skills soonish again :) )

reading books. Opens a whole new world!

sustainability is something that I really concern myself with at the moment. Be it agriculture and nutrition, mobility, consumption, (food)waste...

last but not least: I love chilled, coffee-and-talking-afternoons with good friends. Preferably coffee with milk foam and sitting on a balcony or anything similar :)
