I'm a chemical engineering graduate “trying to find myself” on never-ending gap-years. A life-loving vegetarian trying to find her purpose in life that will eat anything covered in chocolate, believes in the faith of humanity, and has a book titled 'You Only Live Once'.

Just spent a year on a working holiday visa in Whistler, Canada and now in New Zealand on the one!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Got this recommended by my sister and think it’s a great way of meeting new people, like-minded and open, in exotic locations and finding locals that are experts at avoiding the well-beaten tourist traps

Interessen

Life is short, the world is wide and this list is long - travelling, food, the planet, running, skiing, climbing, sustainability, baking, chocolate, zero-waste, books, camping, photography, micro adventures, cheesy motivational sayings...if you’re passionate about it, I’ll be intrigued to learn about it.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

One thing I'll definitely never forget was a camping experience in Botswana. After surviving my dad's rather insane driving through a 35 km sand "road" into the Nxai Pan, we set up our roof tents just as the sun was setting. Just as I was heading to brush my teeth before bed, two beautiful elephants strolled through camp grounds. We all quickly jumped into the car and watched them gracefully stroll by and then daringly followed them in the direction of the bathroom. They obviously knew of the water source there and peacefully enjoyed an evening drink while all stood watching, awestruck.

My love for food (will cook in exchange for a couch)
And hopefully above-average company!
