About Me

I love travelling and I love food. So after graduating from High School, I started my BIG TRIP ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Ten countries in seven months. And I loved every bit of it. I started my trip from Germany to Dubai and then straight into Asia, where I spent my time in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Cambodia. I met so many beautiful people there and had the chance to meet people from Asia and I learned a lot about the cultures there. Also doing yoga in Cambodia with these beautiful views watching the sunrise was a part of my life back then. After exploring Asia, it was time to go bigger: AUSTRALIA. Woow, it was soo amazing. I spent most of the time in Tasmania when I was there and the landscapes were so amazing. After that I headed to NEw Zealand for this amazing road trip around the South Island.. I wish I could turn back time.. Last, but not least, my big trip ended in Brazil with a short stopover in Argentina. Brazil is my love, I already went to Brazil in 2012 as an exchange student then and it is like my second home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately I'm no billionaire, rather the opposite, because I am spending almost all my money to escape my everyday life. I'm studying International Business and Languages in Amsterdam at the moment.
But it can not stop me from traveling, so Couchsurfing is a perfect opportunity for me! Moreover, it is a dream to know and get to know people all over the world! Even if I had money, I would not want to stay in a stupid hotelroom, where I neither really get in touch with the country, the city, the cultur, the people nor the mentalities.
I want to feel that I travel! I want to make unforgettable experiences with nice and crazy people! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost two years ago, I went on exchange to Brazil (Salvador), without knowing anyone and without speaking a word portuguese. It turned out to be the best year of my life! It'll be in my mind for ever.
I made the most impressiv experiences and learned so much in this beautiful country. It was a fantastic time, where I met people from all over the world while I was traveling to Rio de Janeiro, the rainforest in the Amazon and while a round trip to the North-East of Brazil with 100 other exchangestudents. I never imagined that you can get so fast so close with comletly different people. Brazil became my second home, which I owe so many openminded, friendly and crazy brazilians by my side! I'll be back soon, Brazil!
