Hi! My name is Rayan, I’m 19 years old and just graduated from high school in Germany. Before I start university this October, I’m taking some time to travel and discover more of Europe with my Interrail ticket. I’m an open-minded and curious person who loves to explore new places and meet new people. In my free time, I enjoy gymnastics, skiing, freediving, and learning new languages. I try to approach life with a positive mindset and always enjoy a good conversation – whether it's deep and thoughtful or just fun and lighthearted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that traveling is about much more than just seeing sights – it’s about connecting with people and truly understanding the culture. Couchsurfing offers a unique way to meet locals, exchange stories, and see the world from a different perspective. I’m excited to experience this kind of authentic travel, and I’m really looking forward to meaningful exchanges with the people I meet along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don’t watch movies very often, but when I do, I enjoy ones that make me think or inspire me. In terms of books, I really enjoy self-help and personal development books – anything that helps me grow and reflect. Music-wise, I’m open to many genres and love discovering local music from the places I travel to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just a few weeks ago, I organized my first event aimed at connecting young people interested in entrepreneurship. It was an amazing experience bringing like-minded people together and seeing how much energy and creativity can come from community!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to share stories from my travels, teach a bit of German or help with gymnastics techniques if someone’s curious! I’m always eager to learn more about other cultures, local traditions, and languages. Sharing ideas and experiences is what I’m most looking forward to on this journey.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a respectful and easy-going guest who values good conversation and cultural exchange. I'm a great listener, but I also have many stories to tell from my travels and experiences. Whether it's over a shared meal or a walk around town, I’m excited to get to know my hosts and share some memorable moments together.
