I am 22 years old and spent most of my time travelling and volunteering since I finished school in Jne 2014, altough I mostly did workaway and CS meetups in cities, but not that much of real Couchsurfing.

I love to go for the little everyday miracles, like good coffee, sun on my face, having a nice chat with a stranger, listening to the sounds around me and wandering around. Travelling with locals is so much more fulfilling then wandering around the touristy spots of a city or a country.

I'm very open-minded and optimistic, so let's make the best of everything. Looking forward to meeting you! ;)

Oh and also I don't like writing long profile texts. Sorry about that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet new people while travelling and to better get into the mentality of a city or country. Being with people who know the area always is far better than discovering on your own.

"Strangers are friends you didn't meet yet!"

Interests

I like meeting new people, going out, raving (it's techno love), getting around, taking photos, painting...

I love to experience foreign things, trying to make every day special and to be outdoors. But also I discovered silence as one of the best environments in certain moments. It doesn't always need much talking, I enjoy listening and spending time on my own. You'll find I am both: extrovert and introvert.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am mostly up for House, Techno and Electro, but also Accoustic and Electro Swing.
Sometimes I go Salsa dancing as well :) and I'm always up for something new, Ethiopian music turned out to be really catchy.

There's times in my life where I read a lot and then there's times I barely read at all. However, if I do, I read almost everything. For example I really liked Harry Potter (obviously), the Alchemist, le Petit Prince, Jane Austen's Novels, Abby Lynn, the Book on the Taboo against knowing who you are...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying over New Zealand in a very small airplane with my workaway host!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning to play the Ukulele and I am quite a creative person. Watercolours are my favourite at the moment, I am always willing to share my way of creativity with other people. If you want to see what I’m doing, check out my Instagram: aninamarisabriese
