Hi, my name is Stefanie. I'm 27 years old. Right now I'm volunteering in Jerusalem in a home for handicapped women for 12 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On my last trip through Thailand I met a girl who told me about her experience in travelling by using couchsurfing. Hearing her sharing amazing experiences inspired me, the hospitality she was shown, the authentic insight she got in family life of locals, culture, kitchen etc. opend to me a different dimension of travelling. Since I quit my job back home and realised I need also to find a way of travel low budget. I joined a friend with a lot more couchsurfing experience for my first trip just two days ago- it was fantastic! So I finally decided to sign up and here I am!
