I am a happy soul looking for new adventures. I want to leave odd life behind to follow my dreams. Since I can remember I have always been completely passionate about nature and wildlife, which is the reason why I quit my well-paid job in an industry and quit my big apartment. I got a little bit sick of everyday life here and now I want to get to know new people, new cultures and countries. I will start my journey in New Zealand, where I am going to stay from approximately Nov 2017 to Apr 2018. I will be on a backpacking tour all on my own and, to be honest, I am both a bit scared as well as filled with excitement and happiness for this new adventure to come!

I love to spend time with photography and filmmaking and want to improve my skills. Working for nature conservation projects and organizations is what I want to do and I hope with all of my heart that I will get this opportunity in New Zealand by the end of this year and in other countries as well! But, one step after another, right? ;-)

If you share the same passion with me, come on and say hi! I'd love to get to know you and listen to your story! :)

Also, come and say hi on Instagram, you can find me under "explo_resa" :o)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing offers a great opportunity both to travel the world quite cheap as well as to get to know people that are living in a foreign country. I do believe that it can bring people together and help to experience people and countries way deeper than if you would just stay at a hotel.
