Hey their, I'm a german engineering student close to tackle his last year at uni (yeah...). During my backpacking time in New Zealand I discovered how amazing it is to dive into new environments and take part in the clash of cultures (hopefully does't sound to militarily;) . I had a couple of WOOFing stays and it was always fun to discover how different/similar everyday can be. You can count that as a kind of "inspiration" why I'm on Couchsurfing...
