Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

Just arrived in Melbourne, Australia on a Working Holiday Visa. My mission now is to complete my 88 days to qualify for my 2nd year visa and have fun along the way.

Description

I am spontaneous, adventurous and always willing to learn new skills and hobbies.
I’m a preschool teacher/ early childhood educator by occupation in Germany. My favourite part of this job must be to observe and accompany children on their journey of discovery in their world. It's taught me to pay attention to details, on walks in nature for example. I find that's something a lot of adults have lost along the way.
Even though I love working with children, I miss the daily dose of adrenaline that I get while on the road. So while traveling, I always try and fill up my adventure-batteries.
