Hi, I'm Sophie, living in Osnabrück (Germany) and I just came back from a longer trip through (mainly) Argentina and a bit of Chile and Bolivia (January -march 2026) - and my traveller heart is beating (again) - loving the energy of those travels - to dive deep into a country and its people - all the spontaneous things and encounters that came up - the energy and flow of the unknown and just few plans - love it and like to keep the energy of that in my daily life by hosting and when traveling by hangouts, events, surfing on your couch :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the Couchsurfing-philosophy :)! When I lived in Mexico I first got in contact with Couchsurfing in the pure need to get to know local people, to socialize :D I like Couchsurfing because of the "Vamos, vamos"-attitude -and there's always someone yelling "Vamos"! I already met really amazing people who were willing to help, treated me like family members/ friends, had great chats and I encountered a lot of help, love and hospidality. Everyone kind of leaves an impact :) - so I would like to give that back to you people by hosting you and/ or show you around my city :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Changing constantly, I really like music, music always had a big impact on what I'm doing and as life situations and circumstances are changing also the music that accompanies me changes...I love going to concerts (especially small ones) and I always enjoy live music... and I'm a radio-listener ;) I listen to a bunch of spanish/ latin music like Jarabe de Palo, Natalia Lafourcade, Café Tacvba, Perota Chingó, Silvana Estrada etc. ... but in general I'm quite open for any kind of music (oldies, rock, hip hop, reggaeton, alternative, etc..).. And get easily addicted to music one shares :)

Movies/ TV Series: in Germany I love going to "Sneak previews" and in general I love small, alternative cinema -as for TV shows my all-time-favorite is Six Feet Under :)

Books: The Secret History (by Donna Tartt), A Fine Balance (by Rohinton Mistry), Rumo and His Miraculous Adventures (by Walter Moers) ...said the 2016 Sophie version ( but I think I still adore them ;-))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mmmm... I guess all the times I jumped into the cold water - to try something a different way, to change something, to challenge me despite the frustration that sometimes accompanies the jump ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give my couch and a sleepingbag. Show you the city.
Share ideas and moments :)
