My name is Jana, Im a 22 year old student of English and biology and will hopefully one day become a teacher for secondary school. I'm an open-minded person who loves to travel and gain new experiences. And by traveling I don't just mean the boring kind of sightseeing, but actually getting in touch with people and making new friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and friends recommended it to me because they told me it's easier to get in touch with local people.

Interests

I have lots of hobbies, doing archery and playing lacrosse take up most of my freetime. I also love to cook and bake with friends, take pictures of my traveling adventures and play the guitar or read whenever I find some time for it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam through caves in a national park in California! It was a bit scary, because it was dark in some places and I had no idea what to expet, but in the end it was not only refreshing but also super fun and a little adventure I'm sure I won't ever forget!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to cook or bake something for my hosts to show them my appreciation for hosting me, also because I love cooking ;) I think I'm a very uncomplicated pleasant guest who's tidy and respecting of the household rules of other people, so I won't bug you with my endless rambling unless you feel up to talking and getting to know each other while I'm your guest. I'd also like to share stories about traveling or ridiculous anecdotes from my time as a nanny of 4 kids!
