Hiya, I'm Mirjam, hiker-traveler and singer-songwriter (aspiring). Everywhere I go, people pronounce my name differently, which I have come to love. I also love red wine, dark beer, reading, writing, swimming in rivers, sleeping in night trains and tents, and playing card games (games and pub quizzes are the only thing where I get really competitive). I'm also a huge karaoke fan and go to concerts and music festivals as often as I can. l collect toothpaste, funny phrases and beautiful names from all countries I travel to. I'm curious about the world and passionate about social justice.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing offers the best possibility to really get to know a place and its people, and share great moments with them. It's how strangers can become friends in no time.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love songs with great melodies that just make you sing along. I mostly listen to women* singers and pop, indie and folk rock bands. I particularly like the fusion of folk and electronic music. At the moment my favourites include DakhaBrakha, Balaklava Blues, Jerry Heil, Go_A, Alina Pash, Kazka, Aigel, Sia, FLETCHER, M.I.A., Tove Lo, Björk, Florence + The Machine, Ibeyi, Agnes Obel, Kent, Muse, Linkin Park and The Verve. I like all different kinds of movies, but high school movies are my guilty pleasure. I mostly read short stories, cheesy romantic novels, feminist philosophy and books about Eastern European history and politics
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I love tie-dye and recently dyed my own shirts for the first time since kindergarten. It was so much fun!
