ABOUT ME

Hey there :) I'm Gritje from Germany and 23 years old. I finished my A-level in 2009 and decided afterwards to spend one year in new zealand as an au-pair. Which was the best decision I've ever made. Cause that was when I developed my passion to travel.
Think it's very hard to describe myself but i would say that I'm a open minded, helpful, relaxed and fun person.
Well I made my way to couchsurfing cause I just love to explore different countrys + there cultures and hate to spend my holiday in a hotel. I rather catch up with some locals and have a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

Never a failure always a lesson.
Only one life to live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wouldn't say I have seen much of the world (unfortunately) but I have seen quite a bit of New Zealand. So I made some very good experience in this country.
I'll never forget my first dive at the Poor Knights Islands. It was just amazing!
Same with the Tongariro Crossing I've just made. The view was awesome and definitely worth the effort.
But even the little things like natural hot pools or so will be stuck in my head as a great memory.
Could go on but I don't wanna bore you ;) feel free to asked though.
