About Me

Hi everyone!
So I've had couchsurfing for a while now, but as I was always travelling I used it to stay at other people's places rather than hosting myself; and now my Gap Year s finished and I started uni in Wagga Wagga so I decided it was time for me to do some hosting.
So about me:
I love different countries and meeting new people and learning languages, but most of all I love all kinds of food from different cultures.
I really like my country Australia, but I was born in Munich, Germany and my mum is French and my dad a Suriname-born Dutch, so as you can tell I kind of belong to many different places and don't really feel at home anywhere :)
Currently I am studying Animal Science, but it might as well have been Paramedics or Marine Biology or Firefighting...
Yehhh... that's about it I guess...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great way to meet people and really get to know a certain culture, also very convenient and interesting experiences. And now that I am hosting I get to show others where I live! :)
