Description

Hello everyone :)

I am a german Solo Traveler just arrived in Australia for at least a year.
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. Would love to do the big lap Australia at one point.

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. Spent three years at home and went to NZ with another working holiday visa for 15 months. Absolutely loved it there.

I am very passionated about cooking and baking and trying new food from all over the world. I eat and cook vegetarian and vegan food.
At home I bake my own sourdough bread and enjoy making kombucha.
I like beeing outdoor and going hiking, biking, canoing or skiing and I love ecstatic dance and yoga.

When I am at home in Germany I like spending time with my family and friends. We also had a dog named Bella, unfortunately she passed away last year.
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. Also interested in communal living, permaculture and plant medicine.

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

I met already many lovely people in Canada and New Zealand on workaway, I am looking forward to have the same experience in Australia.

Have a wonderful day! :)
