I'm pretty active and fearless in a way. I'm friends with all animals and with some people ;) A bit old fashioned, for example I don't own a TV and I find reading good literature very important.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hitch-hiked through New Zealand with a friend of mine and sometimes random people invited us to stay with them and their families. Some people were worried about us traveling this "dangerous way". One man told us "Two girls on the road! You should better work a bit somewhere and earn some money for the bus tickets" But saving money is not why I do it. If you use tourist buses and stay in the hostels you meet only other backpackers. I'm not a tourist. I'm a traveler. I want to feel the real local life, meet local people, share stories and thoughts, find hidden places which only the locals would know about, find new friends, learn. This is what traveling is all about.

Interests

I'm a registered nurse and a paramedic. Also I do volunteer work rescuing street dogs and have 6 dogs of my own. I love traveling and meeting new people. Almost all kind of sports are fun but nature, water sports and dancing are my passion! Also injuring myself has always been my hobby (side effect of all the adventures I end up in).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Australia, it was a whole new world and I felt I belong there. Also I broke into a cave in NZ , squeezed myself through the metal bars and was walking alone just with my phone as a torch surrounded by glow worms. Later one Maori guy said he can't believe I did that in Tauranga caves as they are Maori secret and it's extremely dangerous to go there if you don't know what you are doing. I've seen and done many other amazing things which I will be glad to tell you about when we meet.
