Hey I'm Yolanda from Berlin, Germany

2026: We are traveling from Mexico to Costa Rica at the moment, if you have recommendations or if you can host us in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua or Costa Rica, we appreciate 🌎

🙋🏼‍♀️After my first big travel in 2017 I moved spontaneously to Barcelona where I lived for 5 years. Now I'm back in Berlin with the motivation to discover my city again! I work with refugees in the neighbourhood. I love learning languages and I'm always trying to get deeper into political activism.

🙂 Meeting people, picknicks in the park, having some beers, second hand markets and gratis events and concerts in the city. Calmer days could be having a dinner together, chat, put some nice music and play board games.

🌎 While traveling, I enjoy to just observe and analize what is happening around me, eat and drink in the most local places, use public transport and talk to people.

I live with my boyfriend Pablo (we met through CS): https://couchsurfing.page.link/KBzJzaD4bb6Cotna9

I'm sorry when I can not always respond fast to your requests! I'll try my best...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing, discovering different ways of living or thinking and connect with people all over the world (also, making new friends). And of course, is a good possibility to get into the real sides and the life of a place, not just the tourist attractions...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Heavy Metal, Rumba, and all kinds of latin music and especially Manu Chao! But also Rock, Ska, Folk, Celtic music, Arabic music... And now that we will travel to Central America I am discovering new music, from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador...
I like to discover traditional music from the countries I visit. At a party I can dance to every fun dance music and good old 2010 hits :D

Don't read that much... Maybe fantasy novells that take you in an other world like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.
