Hi, I'm Paula, 21, from Germany.
After going to school in South Africa for four months in grade 9 and traveling a lot with my dad in the past, I discovered my love for other countries and traveling. And in 2016, after finishing high schools I finally had the chance to live my dream and do more of what I love. Getting to know other people, learn about different cultures, live like a local. After 2,5 months of volunteering in Nepal, one month of traveling in India and 2,5 months of working on a wine farm in South Africa I have now returned to germany doing my pastry chef trainee in a hotel in southern germany.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

For me, couchsurfing is a good way to meet other people, share your interests, stories and some good memories. People with not to much money still have the chance to travel and the hosts as well as the travelers get the chance to learn from each other and make each other happy.
