About Me

I'm a student of culture and loves to see differences and similarities between people from around the world.
I enjoy walking a lot - for me it's the best speed to experience in.
I'm always ready for a round of backgammon or a pancake eating competition.
I'm really looking forward to start my couchsurfing adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a part of my study programme I've stayed for 5 months in Delhi, India. Now I'm soon ready to pack my bags and go to Australia to visit my sister, who lives there for the time being. I will be travelling around for a short time, and I would love to experience Australia - the couchsurfer way. Couchsurfing is something I've heard about and wanted to do for some time, and finally I get the chance. I've been staying with a local girl in India and really enjoyed being introduced to the everyday life of 'a local'. For me, this experience is the best way to understand a culture and a new place. And the best people to discuss a place with are the ones who actually live there.
