CURRENT MISSION

Learn from the world by traveling

ABOUT ME

I am interested in sustainability, community development, and food, so I'm always gathering new insights into each of these subjects when I travel.

I'm down to try new things and make memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently traveling around New Zealand with my boyfriend (who is from Germany). Although we are living out of our van, we still like Couchsurfing to meet new people and learn new things!

Teach, Learn, Share

One of the best aspects of traveling, in my opinion, is the exchange of culture with others. I love to learn about aspects of other people's cultures, like cuisine, music, dance, social life, and language, and to share those things from my culture with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Recipes and cooking
-
- Good conversation!
