In case you wanna see some impressions of how I see the world take a look @winnie.sophie on instagram :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel the world on my own, just my campervan, my backpack and me, 'we' are currently based in wellington :) I'm constantly searching for beautiful souls, uniqueness, positive vibes and enjoy listening to other people's passion, inspiration and story! This world is full of wonders, so let's go and find them! :) ...if you just wanna hang out, I'm always down for a huge bowl of good coffee, hikes and gigs!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music's all around us, all you have to do is LISTEN :) going to gigs here in welly as often as I can, jam as often as I can, we just got an old piano up to our place, there's not a single day without music really! :) big love for bon iver, john butler, jose gonzalez, tame impala, g.love, ben khan, jungle, moderat, silversun pickups, beastie boys, oldschool hiphop & funk, drum'n bass, dub, acoustic guitar stuff, bassy beats!! :) BOOKS: well not really a books person, I never finish them! :D but still love poems by Hermann Hesse, this one book Wild - a Journey from lost to found, also reading books about photography atm. Trying, at least. ;) much love for good song lyrics and poetry though. MOVIES: that's a hard one. I'm not a big fan of spending too much time sitting inside looking onto a screen, but I still enjoy watching a good classic or some realistic creative stuff every now and then. inception was so impressive and I'm a dreamer myself, last samurai for its spiritual and philosophical guideline, gladiator for being a role model in terms of fighting for the good with all you have, endurance, persistence, resistance and rebel character, the notebook because of its beautiful storytelling, music movies/ documentaries and live concerts! Always up for a bob ross session as well! What a legend :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Never giving up, believing in wonders and then finding them, being grateful for every day's beauty and still exploring and appreciating the world like a child!! :) taking responsibility for my own happiness, finally finding the courage to give up my old life in Germany, getting a one way ticket to oz and chasing rainbows and freedom ever since! Traveling almost around the whole oz coastline in a campervan 2016! Working on a cattle farm in the outback for three months! Living in nz's beautiful capital wellington for a year! Life's an adventure, so spread your wings and fly! Let's leave a smile and colourful trace wherever we go :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good sense of humour and spontaneity! Laughing, jamming, cooking and dancing together & wherever, sharing smiles and good music, let's make the most of now! :)
