About Me

Hey couch surfers!
After my year abroad in Australia I can't ignore my call to see more of our world's beautiful places. Next stop: Bali
-- I'm studying in Kiel which is about 1hr from Hamburg. But I like to be in Hamburg over the weekend when I have some time left and the weather is good.

I'm a very open-minded and social person and I love traveling and getting to know new cultures and people, with their different histories and life philosophies.
I love to be outside and I need the sunlight like a plant, otherwise I get easily depressive. But I also love to snuggle down in the bed with a hot drink and watch movies on a bad day.
What I definitely can't do is just sit around and do nothing (except there is one day bad weather or you need one relaxing day)

I finished school 2014 and wanted to see more from the world before I start
studying and be busy for the next 6 or 7 years. So I came to Australia, an impressive country with a diversity of nature and people from all over the world. I spend the first months working as a nanny and kitchen-hand in a country pub. Afterwards I had my big journey around the east coast of OZ, then Bali and New Zealand! Awesome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine recommend couch surfing as a good chance to see the world through the eyes of their inhabitants instead of being surrounded by tourists and do what everybody does.
I like to learn from other people, how they live their life and what they think about the world. So if they show me their home and all the nice places which you possibly never find in a guide book, it would be the perfect experience for me.

Interests

I love creative work like the photography, traveling of course, as I have been to a lot places in Europe and I hope I'll continue exploring new places with my future job and live my passion. :D
Music is a big part of my life, there is not one day I'm not listening to music. It has such a big impact on me and it gives me a lot of inspiration and lust for life -I couldn't imagine how life would be WITHOUT music-.
Music goes hand in hand with sports. I love to play ball sports like soccer or badminton but I also like yoga and dancing.
I love the change. So like to try new things. At the moment I think about to do more yoga and dancing..
