CURRENT MISSION
Explore Australia and meet people who make me go out of my way
ABOUT ME
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
(Mark Twain)
Hi everybody!
Right now I'm in Perth, Western Australia as an Au pair, but will travel to the East Coast in December. It would be great if we might get to know each other there!
I'm a very cheerful, tiny (1,60m), outgoing, adventurous and reliable teaching student (German, English, French) who left her fellow students for one semester to go and see Australia!
My mom was born in Sydney, but only spent the first 4 years of her life here. This is why me and my siblings were granted the Australian citizenship and if I could I would have gone down under much earlier!
PHILOSOPHY
Life is a big journey, and the people we meet along the way are what make this journey worthwhile.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
If you'd like to have me, I'd be more than glad to cook something,teach you some words in the languages I know (only good ones ;)!)and of course help out whenever and wherever I can! I'd also be glad to have a get-together with you and whoever would like to join in, having dinner and maybe a glass of wine or a night out... I'm a very open and sociable person and not demanding at all, so whatever comes up - it's fine with me, even if you're busy. Once I'm back in Germany again, it would be awesome if you could drop by - I would definitely show you around!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
First of all, I have to admit I was very suspicious as far as couchsurfing was concerned. But when myself and a friend spent the night at a couchsurfer's place in France, I was absolutely convinced that this is a great thing! We were received with open arms and shown nice places to go. It would be great if this nice experience could be repeated!
Interests
I love to dance, read, swim, socialise, drink, eat, cook, sing in the car, spend the day at the beach, jump on trampolines (big passion, but get exhausted very quickly...:D), go out and on roadtrips, and of course I do enjoy travelling! Latest passion: zumba.
