Our next destination:
New Zealand - from Mar 2025 until Jun 2025 View allDescription
Hey there, we are Merle and Paula, best friends and high school graduates from Berlin, travelling through New Zealand for a few months.
Despite our age we are very responsible, tidy and we definitely bring a breath of fresh air and energy.
Both of us have done an exchange year abroad without parents.
Merle went to the US (for one year) two years ago. Paula lived with an exchange student in France (for 6 months) when she was 11 years old. That is where we learned how to care for ourselves, adjust ourselves to different lifestyles and over all to be responsible.
We enjoy traveling, getting to know new people and learning about different cultures which is why we decided to do this.
We love a challenge and are not afraid of trying new things! :)Interests
