Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Exploring what's live away from the path of routine. Traveling New Zealand.
ABOUT ME
Honestly, anyone else here the feeling of being a walking contradiction?
I am joyful, easy going, nice and love to make new expieriences. Right now I am travelling New Zealand and am amazed by the great things I do and see and the people I meet.
I am a media designer and studied media information technology. Even if that sounds, like I'm totally lost without technology, I do enjoy shut down every now and then. I love impressive nature.
After a few years of studying, working and having a normal life, I left all that behind. I wanted to visit New Zealand for years and now that's the place where I start to explore the world.
I want to try new things, make new experiences, meet new people.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't try to meet other peoples expectations, make your own.
I don't want my inscription to be: Everyone loved her live, except for her.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: pretty much mixed up. So here just some examples from different styles. Linkin Park, Disturbed, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Nelly Furtado, Adele, Pink, ...
Movies: Lord of the Rings (yeah I know), Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, Tributes of Panem, Avengers, ...
Books: I could almost copy the movie list, but that would be boring. Hollows (series), Gone Girl
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Leaving everything behind, for realising my dream to travel New Zealand. Planning it all myself. Travelling alone to a country, where I don't have friends.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I do have knowledge about photography, web and print design, usability and user experience, that I can share. I also can teach some self defense, based on my skill in traditional Taekwon Do
Learn: There are so much things I would love to learn. Surfing, diving, bouldering, a new language, playing the guitar, ...
Share: Since I plan to travel for a year, there are not a lot of things I will take around. But sure, what I got, I will share. may it be food, shampoo or just a good talk.
What I Can Share with Hosts
As it should be normal for being a guest, I clean up after myself and do respect your privacy. I like to cook and bake and so far no one complained about the results (and yes, no one died so far, too. So they would have been able to complain, if they would have wanted).
I can offer some practise in german. I also can show you some basics about photography or photo editing or teach you some basics in traditional Taekwon Do.
