Hey there guys, I'm Sophia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For lack of better words, yes, I'd say I'm a fairly laid back person. I appreciate every other individual I encounter in my life for the lessons I can learn from them, both obvious and subtle. A good sense of humor is certainly the cure-all, don't ya think?

I'm a proud risk taker and I don't mind going against the grain...especially if it means standing up for the little guy.

Bliss for me is taking naps under a tree with a book, having late night campfire talks beneath the stars, seeking out local hole-in-the-walls, and getting down on the dance floor.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Happy to meet great people in this unique and personal context that perhaps I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come across otherwise.

Interessen

Living in new cultures and connecting with its people simply. I geek out on anything to do with science, poetry, food, language, activism, yoga, Vedic astrology, or permaculture related. Going on a road trip? Call me.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music: Ooph. Good music is good music, I definitely think there's something to resonate with in every genre. Gregory Alan Isakov, Modest Mouse, The Beatles...

Movies: The Goonies, Little Miss Sunshine, La La Land, Interstellar, Bourne Trilogy, Kill Bill Volume 1&2, Up, Hidalgo, and many classic tearjerkers. Otherwise, I’m hooked on documentaries.

Books: These days, philosophy of all sorts.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Swimming alongside wild dolphins. Can't forget the feeling.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Compassion, empathy, and love...why not?

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I think I provide decent company that I'm more than happy to share with you if you want it, but I'm also just as content with respecting your want for space. I'm a big listener, an optimist, a helping hand—let me know how I can help! I'd also love to show my gratitude by treating you to a drink, meal, ice cream—pick your poison, I'm on it.
