  • Description

    Hello everyone :)

    I am a german Solo Traveler in NZ for a bit over a year with a working holiday Visa.
    I travel around in my Van Slacky. :) I don't plan too much in advance, as I prefer 'go with the flow' :D I believe that everything happens for a reason and in the end it will work out well. So far I have an amazing time in New Zealand. :)

    The world is huge and there is so much to explore.
    Travelling in South America is on my list, too.
    Looking for travel buddies and of course for great workaway experiences.

    I usually work in hospitality, so lots of experience with it.
    After working two years on cruiseships and traveling to many destinations around the world, I went to Canada with a working holiday Visa. Even without a lot of plannig my time there was amazing. I think everything happens for a reason. I am absolutley in love with Canada, was the best year in my life so far.

    I am very passionated about cooking and baking and trying new food from all over the world. Mostly vegetarian and vegan food.
    I am not super enthusiastic in doing sports, like going to the gym :D But I like beeing outdoor and going hiking, biking, canoing or skiing and I try to do more yoga and meditation.
    I would love to try paragliding once.
    Also I like spending time with my family and friends and of course with my dog Bella.
    I like reading books and watching reports with different topics.
    Besides this I try to follow a sustainable lifestyle, which is not always working 100%.
    Very interested in tiny houses, so maybe I get the chance here to find a host with a tiny house.

    So if you think we have something in common and could be travelbuddies, let me know or if you are looking for some help in house, garden, with animals or hospitality. I am always up for a new adventure or experience!

    Have a wonderful day! :)
