Sophiaw

Hi, I´m Sophia :)

I studied English/German/geography to become a teacher and I'm currently teaching at a small vocational school (pretty cool - it's located in a 16th century castle on top of a hill).

In my freetime, I like to READ (I own far to many BOOKS), hang out with FRIENDS (go out, have a cup of TEA, cook something nice & sometimes shopping), to go to cinema, meet new PEOPLE, relax and to listen to music and audio-books. I´m also interested in LANGUAGES and other CULTUREs, as well as HISTORY and historical sites.

I love to TRAVEL (so far, I´ve been to many European countries, as well as to Japan, the USA, Afghanistan, Guatemala and Mexico) & I´m a member of couchsurfing.org - the best way to travel, I guess. So far I only couchsurfed/met up with 'surfers in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Italy & Germany. Are there fellow COUCHSURFERS around?
I still have a long mental list of place I'd love to see (and no plan for 2015 so far).

NÜRNBERG is an old town & popular with tourists - & it is worth a visit, as it has a lot of medieval heritage, but also deals with Germany´s more recent history. Museums, a nice city, great parcs, a river, some nice ponds, nightlife & my favourite international quarter with all the nice shops with stuff from abroad (I used to live there. It was great!)
Especially the Christmas Market (Christkindles Markt) is quite popular. Nürnberg is famous for gingerbread ("Elisenlebkuchen") and a special kind of BBQ sausage ("Nürnberger Rostbratwürstchen")

I´m looking forward to receive your POSTCARD :) As for a MOTIVE, I don´t have special wishes, everything is fine with me :D Tell me about anything - your town/job/hobby, things you like, places you want to visit, local customs, why you picked the postcard etc

-> Looking for penpals <-
