I am a 22-year-old girl from Germany who has spent one year in the US living in Philadelphia and taking care of two kids as an au pair. I have traveled a lot during this year trying to see as much places as possible, meeting new people and learning about different cultures. That is where I have made my first couchsurfing experiences. Since 2014 I am back in Germany studying civil engineering which will still keep me pretty busy for the next 3 years probably. During the semester breaks I love to travel around Europe :)

Unfortunately, I am not able to host since I'm living in a shared apartment and my flatmates do not accept couchsurfers. But if you need someone to hang out with while you are in Dresden you can message me and I'll try to meet up with you and show you around a little bit! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was a child everyone said to me "Never take anything from strangers, never get into a car of a stranger, never trust a stranger, ..." That is what parents tell there kids here in Germany. But what I have learned during my travels is: you don't have to be afraid. Most people are so much better than you'd ever think. I have met some amazing people due to couchsurfing so far and I really hope I can get to know more of you guys out there!

Interests

(As probably everyone in this community) I love traveling and exploring the world, meeting new people and learning about life. During my free time I climb (inside and outside) and boulder a lot, I do yoga and lately I'm trying out some acrobatics. I play the piano and sing in a Jazz Choir. I enjoy cooking. I love playing board and card games.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is BOY.
Lately I'm also addicted to HVOB.
I am a big fan of electronic music when going out to party but I generally am open for all kinds of music since I feel like when you listen to some music often enough it will stay in your head and you can't do anything but start liking it.

Movies I have liked a lot: Inception, Colonia Dignidad, Captain Phillips, Léon, Forrest Gump, Hachiko, Interstellar

Currently reading: Black Out (Marc Elsberg)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share travel experiences, learn about your personal way of living, what's most important for you and how you see the world.
Also, I would love to learn how to count in your language. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could teach you some German if you're interested. If you can play an instrument or like singing, it would be awesome to make some music together. I can also cook a typical German dish for you if you like. :)
