Im an 18 year old German girl traveling with my best friend through New Zealand for 5 months! We are currently wwoofing and couchsurfing down the west coast of the south island. After NZ we will be heading to Australia, Fiji, USA, Iceland, and then back to Germany for university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is the best way to facilitate cultural exchange. It is the only way I can truly get to know a town and the people in it.

Interests

I love dancing... cha cha, rumba, tango, salsa, samba, fox trott and a lot of more dances, cooking and baking, kayaking, tramping, swimming, skiing, hanging out with friends and of course traveling!!!
