About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get over with the exams and enjoy the summer

ABOUT ME

I am a sometimes crazy but otherwise lovely german girl living in Bielefeld after having lived in North West England for five years.
Taking things easy, meeting new people, sports and good food are all important to me.

PHILOSOPHY

Dream away and take one step at a time to get there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like meeting new people of all ages. Also I would like to engage more with speech therapists from all around the world. I generally love learning languages - so i hope to use this network as a platform for cultural exchange.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once stayed with a lovely girl in Brussels when I tried to go back to England but all flights were cancelled due to the vulcanic ash.
