Hi there - I lived in the US for 2 years (just another Au Pair ...)
Who's dreaming to make her way back to the San Francisco Bay Area, after finishing my bachelor's degree in Business Administraton & Business Psychology (Double B.Sc.: Bachelor of Science)
I'm of positive nature and you can catch me smiling, always! There’s absolutely NO space for negativity in my life!
I love to surround myself with people and make friends that share the same mindset as I do :-)
[I‘m a hard working, determined and also positive person, everything I have I have worked for by myself, nothing has ever been just handed to me, so I know in order to get something you truly want, you have to work hard for it - you also have to have a positive mindset about it and have true belief in yourself!]
I absolutely love exploring and discovering anything new, meeting new people, making friendships that last a lifetime and traveling is my favorite thing on earth!
So I'm more than excited to hear about your life, your passions and to tell you all about my culture and to just share life experiences with each other!
Hope to meet you soon!
With much love, warm smiles and positivity from Cologne, Alina

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

How amazing is it to meet new people and hear about their passions and life experiences? That is why I am on couchsurfing! I'm so curious and excited to meet new people and see how they live life, meet new personalities and just get to know them and have wonderful conversations together. Since I didn’t grow up in the US, I would love for someone local to give me recommendations and learn/see their lifestyle from their perspective, and if possible even hang out and explore together! It's a great way to meet new friends and maybe have connections that last a lifetime!
I'm so grateful when someone invites me to their home, and who knows? If you plan your next Germany trip, you'll not just have place to sleep in my home, but a local friend to show you around!
