I’ve worked and studied a lot the past couple of years and after my graduation I started traveling. I’ve been to seven countries this year but Australia and the people here have a special place in my heart. I moved to Melbourne in Nov and even though I feel so comfortable here I want to travel up the east coast from Jan on

Some say I tend to be an amazing person who's either really outgoing and social or likes to be by herself and read for three days straight. I'm passionate about books and music....also a big fan of the outdoors haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m a student (politics->medicine) so I didn’t have a lot of time during the months I was home to save up enough money. CS allows me to travel more, get to know the best hidden gems bc locals always know best ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

A side job of mine was teaching German so if my 6th graders can learn something from me you can too :)
I wish I could say I have creative or musical skills but I really don’t… I’m learning sign language and working on my chess skills tho

What I Can Share with Hosts

There are many funny travel stories to share as well as questionable dancing skills. I love cooking together and sharing my grandma’s (german) recipes! I’m also the eldest daughter -> household chores are second nature to me (doing dishes/laundry, watching children, cleaning the house - you call it)
