Hi I'm Marlene 🙈🙉🙊

I was born in Whangarei, New Zealand to German parents. My first language is German, I learned English when I started school. I lived one hour north-east of Whangarei until I was 11, in a small place called Oakura Bay, then we moved down to Wellington. After I finished high school I went to live in Berlin, Germany for one year. Berlin is my favourite city in the world. All my aunties, uncles, and cousins live in Germany. My parents and siblings all live in New Zealand, apart from my oldest brother who has lived in Perth, Australia for the last 5 years. I am currently living and staying with my brother in Perth. My plan is to move back to New Zealand after I come back from my travels in Japan. I would love to own my own business one day, at the moment I'm thinking about opening a cat/animal cafe in Wellington! Animals and music and travelling are my favourite things in the world 🐈🐕🎼🎶🌏✈

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world more from now on, and would like to meet cool people along the way :-)

Interests

I love music, movies, animals, travelling, art, painting, drawing, design, fashion, reading, writing, dancing, food & drink!

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE music, it's such a huge part of my life! I have a very wide variety I like, but my favourite is definitely older music, ranging from 1950s rock'n'roll to 1990s alternative rock 🎸🎶
