About Me

In October 2016 I made the best decision of my life so far and went abroad for 8 months.
Travelling together with my childhood friend Anna we did a Working Holiday in New Zealand and absolutely fell in love with the country and it's people.
Currently we are travelling up the east coast in Australia hoping to meet as many interesting people as possible and seeing a lot of this beautiful place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I simply love the concept of this website. For me it shows the good in people , sharing what we have, learning from each other.
Additionally I think that staying with locals is the best way to travel as you can really experience the country and it's culture other than just seeing the tourist attractions.

Interests

Since 2011 I am a member of an orchestra playing the flute. We always try to find something for every age and taste so we play a mix of classical music, austrian brass, big band style, film music,...
I wouldn't say that I am a really talented flute player but I enjoy making music together and the orchestra is like my second family.

Other interests
-I love travelling and meeting new people from different cultures and backgrounds discussing about life and the world.
- FOOD. I like eating out with my friends or family discovering new places and cuisines.
- Other than many teenagers I actually enjoyed going to school. My favourite subjects were languages, history, geography, philosophy, biology and music.
- Dancing. I did two dance courses learning the waltz, boogie, rumba, polka and jive. Would love to learn more latin dances too!
- I try to be a sportier person but for the moment it's just going for a run from time to time with friends, swimming in summer and skiing in winter.
