About Me

Hey there and welcome to my profile!

It's been three crazy years travelling abroad from home before I started my studies close to Berlin at the University of Sustainable Development.
I am grateful for all the amazing people I have met on my way that made the journey so special and really look forward to so many more amazing humans to cross paths with.
Beautiful New Zealand was my first destination and teached me a lot. Especially the hospitality of the kiwi culture was impressive!
I enjoy the little things in life und am excited about the gifts this life has to offer...
When I travel I feel very much in my element.
Luckily I got two month of travelling this autumn 2021 and started the adventure in Slovenia and ending up in Greece.
My last destination in Portugal for this trip will be Portugalm where I join a reforestation project for my practical semester.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cultural exchange, interesting conversations, getting an insight into other lifestyles, helping each other out. It's all nice :)

Interests

I get excited about the handcrafts I do and love preparing food following a healthy, wholesome diet. One big mission for me is to help to protect the beautiful forests we have in this world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking my time after school and staying on the road for 3 years.

I saw a comet this summer in Greece with my high-school friend.

Meeting my soulbrother in New Zealand.

So many lucky hitchhiking experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing brings so much happiness to me. I live with the belief that everything comes back to you. Besides sharing is caring you will also experience to have more than less.

Very interested to learn about other cultures, to learn how to live self-sufficient from the land, I would love to learn some carpentry skills & how to work with wood. Always happy to learn about natural medicine, about forest ecosystems and sustainable lifestyles knowing myself a bit about it.

I try to become the best version of me and break old patterns.

Happy to share the good travel vibes !!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very happy to prepare a meal to express my gratitude or to get a bottle of wine from the shop. :) I am fully packed with happy travel vibes and lots of stories.
