Hi, I’m Florence, a traveler from the South West of Germany currently exploring Australia on a Working Holiday Visa. I love nature, wildlife, hiking, and discovering new places on a budget. Sustainability, minimalism, and mindfulness are important to me, and I enjoy meeting like-minded people from different cultures.

I’m an easygoing and respectful guest who loves good conversations, sharing travel stories, and learning about local life. Always happy to help around the house or cook a simple meal!

Looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers and locals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2020 I’ve cycled around the Lake Constance with a friend. We had planned to camp, but since the weather did not cooperate, we didn't even bring a tent! That was actually the time when I collected my first CS memories. We’ve couchsurfed around the Lake and the people we’ve met made this trip particularly special. I think it’s a new and even a better way of travelling because you get to meet great people and the exchange is usually very fascinating and enlightening.
