ABOUT ME

After studying in Bremen I travelled for quite a while through Central America, New Zealand and Asia. Afterwards I got settled in Leipzig, finished my studies and have been working as a psychologist the last two years. Right now I quit my job to return to New Zealand for a bit. Well, what else to tell?
I love being around people - there are also hours I just love sitting on the sill and feeling the sun on my face - I'm living in a flat share - love being on the road and visiting old friends in their new homes - I love harmony but do not like peole not having a mind on their own - I´m openminded - Next to my studies I'm working in a youth centre and love playing silly games with the kids but although discuss about values - I just enjoy my life

PHILOSOPHY

There's just this one life you have, so do whatever you like as long as you have the chance to instead of letting social conventions and expectations rule your life!
A daily smile to a completely stranger is one of the easiest things you can do and will definitly lightening his mood!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS a while ago, friends told me about their great experiences travelling around and sleeping on the couch of somebodyelse.
Now I'd like to join myself. I`m living in a shared flat and there's no spare room, but whenever there's somebody of us on the road, I'd love to host. Otherwise I'm always up for a coffee and exploring Leipzig together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only had great experiences so far. Sleeping in a huge tent on a small farm, having dinner with the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen from someones balcony- all Kiwipeople who hosted me made me feel comfortable at their home and I loved staying with them.
