CURRENT MISSION

trying to seize every single minute :)

ABOUT ME

Well, first the basic stuff:
This is me, Tatjana, a 25-year-old from Germany who is sometimes quiet, sometimes fun-seeking and loves to be outside in nature or being creative.
Since my stay in New Zealand, travelling has become an addiction as I like the idea of visiting new places, getting to know interesting people and cultures, trying different things and always being "on the run", not knowing what will happen next.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't dream your life - live your dream!
Hver er sinnar gæfu smiður.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time was in Nelson - and I really enjoyed it! Couchsurfing was definitely one of my highlights in NZ.

Interests

I love the outdoors and after my Working Holiday in New Zealand I can't stay in all day anymore. Most of the time I spend enjoying nature, travelling around and doing sports. However, I sometimes also need to take it slowly and be on my own, dedicating myself to creative things.

Here's a list of things I appreciate:
- listening to music (mainly metal and hardcore but also lots of other stuff)
- playing the guitar
- festivals
- drawing and painting
- photoshopping
- photography
- film editing and filming
- sports like snowboarding, ice skating (would also love to learn Kali, kiteboarding, pole dancing and break-dancing :) )
- learning new languages
- travelling the world
- historical facts
- Northern mythology
- sarcasm and irony
- horsing around
