HI!
I am a fresh highschool graduate and I am very passionate about travelling, reading (especially fantasy and sci-fi books) and art. I also do LARP (life action role playing) in my free time. Which is kind of like running around with a fake sword in a costume and having a ton of fun with people, who are doing the same. I love to cook and drink tea and I am always in for playing board games. When I am in a place I don't know I enjoy walking around and talking to new people and getting to know the place. I do like architecture very much too. I also enjoy art galleries and museums very much.
I speak English fluently (I have spent ten months on an exchange program in the US), I am also learning French and Japanese (I am a complete beginner in Japanese though).
I am looking forward to meeting you!
Petra

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I have written above I do love travelling and I do love it especially for the people aspect of it. I do think that getting to know people living in other places then just one's home country is extremely thrilling and interesting. I do love discovering new things and learning about other peoples' ways of life. I have been very lucky when a woman that hosted me during my exchange in US taught me my most important travelling motto "I am here to learn, not to judge", which is a thing I try to stick to, any time I travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do sincerely love almost any kind of music (I am absolutely horrible in singing or playing anything though) and I am always in for learning about new bands and songs. I currently listen a lot to Patty Smith, Omnia, Queens of Stone Age and Kino.

My favorite books include: Malazan Book of the Fallen, Ender's Game, Even the Gods Themselves, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (still haven't finished the series though), Songmaster and Lord of the Rings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did slide on a frozen waterfall in Minnesota!
