Hi people,

my name is Franziska, I am a 22 year old girl from Germany. I grew up in Verden, a beautiful little town in north Germany.

After finishing my high school in 2011 I traveled through Australia for a year with my own car. Back in Germany I started an trainee ship as Industrial Management Assistant and finished it after three years working.

Cause I noticed that office work is not really the passion I want to follow for the rest of my life I decided to continue traveling, New Zealand this time. When I come back to Germany I want to start studying Physiotherapy in the Netherlands.

So far so good. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet more Kiwi people here in New Zealand cause I really enjoyed the company and relaxed attitude from most of you until now.

It would be great if you could share some of your knowledge about your home town with me and give me some secret hints for nice spots or exciting activities. :)

Maybe we could share some cooking experiences as well cause I really miss cooking as though I lived in the car for the last three months.

Interests

I am really interested in new things I haven't tried yet.

I did surfing, skateboarding, sky diving but love to read a good book as well (nice replacement for TV in the car ;)).
I am really addicted to some series (especially game of thrones :P) and love to chill out at the couch sometimes.

PS: I would love to learn playing chess like a pro (with strategy etc.). If you are a good player I would love to take some lessons. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to the Fusion Festival in Germany. You have to do this once in a lifetime!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn how to play a pan flute, how to play chess, learn cooking (Kiwi style), how to make sushi..

I can teach you how to make a bracelet for your friend on your own, speaking German like a pro or how to find the best second hand shops in town ;)..

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share a good laugh.. ;) Otherwise I would love to look after your pets if you have some. Going out with the dog or playing with your cat would be a pleasure for me. I am open for everything else I can help you with as well (cleaning, gardening, cooking...)
