Ciao tutti!

My name is Barbara. I am originally from Bavaria, Germany, but have been living in Australia since 2008.

I have decided to move to Sicily after 16 years in Australia to be closer to my family.

I will be travelling all over Sicily in July/August/September 2024 to decide where I'd like to live and buy an old/abandoned home and renovate it. That is my dream!

Please reach out if you have any suggestions.

About me:
I would describe myself as active, healthy, curious, adventurous, kind, respectful, open minded and fun!

I love good coffee, fresh food, dark chocolate and delicious wine :D
I love hiking, trail running, adventures in nature or by the beach.
Kitesurfing is something I'd like to learn as well as riding off road motorbikes.
Generally I am interested in anything that sounds adventurous, dangerous and fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals - potentially my new neighbours - explore Sicily and make friends!
I am travelling Sicily in July/August/September 2024 in search for my future home :)
