About Me

Hey, did you already smile today? (=
I haven’t done any big travels in a long time—like you can see in my references, it’s been about 8 years.

In the last years, I worked in different places, spent amazing time with friends and family, traveled around Germany by train and car, visited a lot of friends, studied for 3 years to become a teacher for kids, and worked for the last 2 years.

Now it’s time to travel again and meet great people all around the world. (:
For about 10 years it has been my dream to come to Australia, and now I finally made it! I’m here on a Working Holiday Visa.

I love discovering new places and meeting new people. Sometimes I just need a place to sleep, a good conversation with other travelers, or someone to share stories with. Let’s get to know each other and have a great time!
Also, I’d love to improve my English skills. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Never regret a day in your life:
good days give happiness, bad
days give experience, worst days
give lesson, and best days give
memories."

"If you don't try,
You'll never know.
If you don't go after what you want,
You'll never get it.
…And if you never ask,
The Answer will always be no."

Be happy, positive and kind to everyone (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the beautiful world, and I don’t like staying in hotels and being alone. It’s much nicer to meet new people, connect, and have a great time together.

I would love to host as well :)
Right now I’m traveling through Australia and don’t have a home at the moment, but once I settle down again, I definitely want to host other travelers. (=

Teach, Learn, Share
