Hey, I'm Sophia!
I'm a linguistics student from Germany.
In my freetime I try to gather all the interesting trivia facts there are and experience as many adventures as possibe :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to help out. I have seen some folks on this platform complaining about people using cs as a free hostel service, but as a chronically broke student I absolutely understand the occasional need for free accommodation. So whether you want to make a connection or just need a place to crash, feel free to hit me up :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Too much to name all of it! I really like the music of Pink Floyd and Chopin for example, but there really is great music in every genre.
A movie I recently watched that gave me the chills was Holy Spider. And I'm a little obsessed with the recent Dune movies, probably mainly because of the great soundtrack.
The Wandering Earth by Liu Cixin changed my perspective on science fiction, can strongly recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having the local healer of a Peruvian village teach me how to treat people with kambo (the poison of a frog that is traditionally used to treat a wide range of medical issues) in the Amazon rainforest.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always interested in learning about languages, cultures, music, sciences, almost everything really.
Can teach German, English, basic Spanish or some piano skills. Also always happy to share some trivia :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to show you around the city, recommend some nice hiking spots in the mountains surrounding it or cultural places to visit. I'm always up for going out!
In my room, feel free to try out the numerous musical instruments I collect or read my books :)
