Hi there!

A famous Danish writer once said "traveling is living". It is a quote I have happily chosen to follow:)

I'm Marika, a 22-year-old half Danish half Polish girl, currently studying a Bachelor of Marine Science in Townsville, Queensland.

I love new adventures, sharing stories and experiences and immersing myself in new cultures and beautiful nature. The outdoors are my great passion and where I feel most at home!

I have lived and travelled in many different places - on exchange, at boarding school, doing workaway - and enjoyed all the interesting encounters and new skills this brought. Hopefully, I can add many more in the future:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is all about sharing - experiences, the joy of the natural beauty, a home-cooked meal - and couchsurfing is just perfect for that.
