Hi, I'm Julia. I live in Berlin and I'm studying medicine. I've always had a strong desire to see the world, but for a long time, I never dared to travel alone. Then one day, I packed my things, got on a plane – and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I love traveling with Couchsurfing because it allows me to experience a place beyond the typical tourist bubble. Instead of staying in hostels, I get to meet locals and gain a deeper understanding of the culture, everyday life, and the people who live there.

I'm very curious about different ways of living, thinking, and seeing the world – especially those that are different from how I grew up. I'm still figuring out who I am and how I want to live my life, and traveling helps me explore those questions.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have just discovered couchsurfing for myself and I love the idea that people who love to travel support each other. I think it provides a great opportunity to get to know interesting people as well as foreign cities and countries better. When I used to travel before, I often stayed in hotels or vacation homes and visited tourist attractions that tourists usually visit. Unfortunately, I didn't learn much about the city and life in the city, about the people and cultural peculiarities. It was always quite anonymous. That's why I'm excited to have found a different way of traveling for myself with couchsurfing.

兴趣

I have too many changing interests that I never really keep up with one thing permanently. It used to bother me, but now I think it's great because I love variety. I enjoy sports and love action: I've ridden my bike across the Alps, been skydiving, participated in a triathlon, love table tennis, and swimming in the lake during the summer. Right now, I've become a bit of a hobby psychologist and read a lot about the connection between childhood development and the psyche or about Buddhist teachings. I also enjoy meeting up with friends for board game nights and am always excited to try new things.

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm a huge fan of Rock 'n' Roll and the music of the 50s and 60s. If I ever find the time, I would love to learn Rock 'n' Roll dancing. I adore the dance style because it's so wild, dynamic, and lively. In general, I think rock music is pretty cool. Another project of mine is learning to play the electric guitar so that I can be part of a punk-rock band.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Recently, I was on my first major trip and went on a road trip through California with a friend from Germany. We started in San Francisco, went through Yosemite National Park, where we spent a night sleeping in the car, which wasn't that comfortable and a bit spooky. Then we continued through the desert to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, which was my personal highlight. I would love to go back there and hike through the Canyon. Perhaps someone is interested in joining me? :)

Thank you for supporting people who love to travel and providing accommodation! And even more so, for offering the opportunity to explore new cities, countries, cultures, and people! I think it's great and important that people support each other! I live in a student dorm with only one room, so unfortunately, I can't host guests, but I would really love to!
