Hello everybody!

I am Tina, 32 years young, originally from a small farmer town near Dresden (Germany) and now living in beautiful Kamloops (BC) in Canada. I love discovering new places, nature, animals, the ocean, people, books, yoga, trees, other cultures, a drama-free lifestyle, writing with a pencil, sunshine, hiking, fresh air, schnitzel and much more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

* Meeting new people
* Sharing travel experiences
* Giving back
* Helping out
* Making budget travel possible
* Giving everybody the chance to travel and experience new things

Teach, Learn, Share

Be happy. For real. Try it. Smile. Stand up for the ones you love. Care about them, like you care about yourself. Give back. Pay forward. Be still. Enjoy the silence. Treat nature like your mother. Be you. You are special.
