CURRENT MISSION

my next plans: working on an aboriginal cattle station in the outback, try if the surfcamp I did near Sydney can help me with the waves in Hawaii

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone, I'€™m Anna
In September 2012, I started my little around-the-world-tour through Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
I love to meet other people from different countries and I think you have the best possibility to learn a lot of new things about the culture of a country when you meet the people, talk about their life, discover new food dishes, learn new languages, see the normal life and discover the world with new friends.
For me, one of the best things in life is to travel. I like to go through adventures and to see what the world can show us people.
What can I say about me? I like to laugh a lot and when I am not laughing, I am enjoying the situation. In Germany, I finished High school in 2010 and since then I am working as a paramedic. A really interesting job! But I decided to leave Germany for nine months to get a little view of the huge world. And since I am travelling the wish to travel more gets bigger and bigger. I know, I'€™m only 22, but I already have a small list in my head which countries I want to see next. And it's so exciting what other people can tell you about their favorite spots!
