About Me

Currently in NZ for an internship. Who knows how long I’ll stay. I'm a very positive person, I like to count my blessings and celebrate them. I love spending time outside - enjoying the sun with friends, doing Yoga outside, taking a dip in the sea, watching the sun rise and set. I love beaches and hikes - Mother Nature just has it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and meet new people. Although I haven't couch surfed through this website yet I have stayed on friends of friends couches and hosted people on my couch as well. I love how this website brings so many people from all over together and I love being part of that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I LOVED hiking barefoot through Brazilian jungle passing a few of the most amazing and breathtaking beaches I have ever been to. I used to only travel by myself and always thought it was the bravest thing to do - but travelling with friends the last couple years has taught me so much, too. It helped me grow in so many ways and I am super grateful I was able to make all these experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I find it the most important to be grateful. No matter what is on your plate be grateful. Life can get so hard and I know it but even the shittiest times bring a little spark of good with them - we just have to dig deeeeep to find it. For me, Yoga and meditation plays a big role in this process and I am so thankful that my mat gives me a home away from home every time I step on it no matter where I am.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A LOT of funny, embarrassing, awkward, happy, sad and mind-blowing stories from my travels, my family, friends and life in general. I also like to do Yoga together, if people are into it. I love sharing recipes, a few beers or trying to share a few words in foreign languages. I can offer German, English and intermediate Spanish :-)
