About Me

CURRENT MISSION

5 new experiences on my way up to Auckland

ABOUT ME

Getting to the end of my time in New Zealand (I leave in early june) I want to spend my last month with what I liked best about New Zealand:

New experiences, new skills and new people!

While hitchhiking from I Wellington to Auckland (via Palmerston North, Wanganui, New Plymouth and Hamilton), I want to

-surf (at least) on 5 different couches
-meet (at least) 5 international friends
-experience or learn 5 new things
(e.g. learn how rugby really works, extend my knowledge about languages and phrases, play a new music instrument, have a try at cricket, or whatever you think is worth to try :-)

Besides couchsurfing, my challenge includes:
-hitchhike all the way
-not to cause any CO2 emissions (except for food): that means no busses, no hot showers, only couchsurfing or sleeping in my tent...
-not to speak any german (unless you want to learn a few words)

So, are you up for the challenge? Do you want to make my last weeks the most rewarding?

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow,
If you're stuck, though,
Because the flow won't go,
Fuck the flow. And go by yourself.

The higher the mountain, the better the view!
