Hello,
my name is Sarah, but all my friends call me Jay!
I'm actually a very timide person, so I've never dared to go travelling all on my own. But in December 2013 - January 2014 I went on my first trip to India, where I learnd a lot about myself and the world around me. And of couse now I can't get enough of seeing new countries all around the globe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

That's also the reason why I joind the Couchsurfing-Community!
I want to meet new people from different cultures who speak different languages and to travel around the world easily with the support of local people.

Unfortunately I have no Couchsurfing experience, since in India I had to travel really fast (I had just 3 weeks) and so this will be my first time :)

Interests

The greatest interest I have is the world and all the different people who live on it! I'm a very openminded person who wants to learn nearly everything and who likes to listen to stories from every single person!
That's the reason why I love to read! It is a very easy way to get to know stories without being there.
Furthermore I love to draw and paint. I'm a very creative person who can imagine almost everything in very short time.
Additionally I'm into technics (computer and stuff) and environmental problems. And sometimes I do some sports (rock climbing f.i.) but I don't want to say that I am a very sportive person.
