About Me

I've loved traveling ever since I spend a Work and Travel year in Australia right after high school. During my studies I've managed to live in Chile and Canada and absolutely enjoyed both experiences. Now that I'm working there is less time to travel but I still try to make at least one bigger trip a year. When I'm at home I'm pretty laid back. Love watching movies and TV shows or just hang out with friends. I try to squeeze in some gym time or running each week and started bouldering a couple of years ago which is really fun.

Currently on a year long break from work to explore the world. Roughly 6 months South America and 6 months Asia. Super excited to see what this journey will turn out to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet interesting people and bring something different into the everyday life. It's also an awesome opportunity to get to know a city out of a locals point of view and immediately have some company.

I’ve done some surfing and hosting before but under some else’s account. Let me know if you want her details for references :).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love seeing live music. I can get excited about anything with a guitar but especially love indie rock, folk punk, brit pop, ska, sometime hip-hop and so much more.
There are movies I like from every genre (rom com to thriller) except for horror... Can't watch it.
I read mostly fantasy and sci-fy or non-fiction. My favourite books are still the Harry Potter books, don't think anything will ever top that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved both of the Wwoofing experiences I had so far. Both were working on rural farms in Australia and Canada and the families were so welcoming and included me in their lives right away. I hope that I will get a chance to get to know communities as intimately as I did then again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I use Excel for work every day so if you always wanted to set up something in a spreadhseet I can definitely help you out.
I can show you some basic bouldering and rock climbing techniques. I am not an expert but I have been doing it for a couple of years now and am happy to help you out if you want to get started.
I want to improve my Spanish so if you speak Spanish don't let me get away with speaking English the whole time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like sharing stories of my travels so far or telling you about life in Germany. I am not a particularly good cook but I can whip something simple up and I am excellent at being ordered around a kitchen.
