When I was 18, I decided to spend a year abroad as an au pair in the USA. I liked it there so much that I stayed for two years and discovered my passion for traveling. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Back in Germany, I realized that I had a great wanderlust and definitely wanted to go abroad again. In the meantime, I was able to talk about my time and my experiences at trade fairs and information events for my organization, which made my stay in the USA possible. I loved sharing all my tips and experiences and helping other au pairs and work & travelers with their planning! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 2022, I finally set off for New Zealand again and explored both the South Island and the North Island in a camper van. The nature is indescribable and has so much to offer! After incredible impressions and countless pictures, I arrived in Australia in July 2023 and bought a car straight away. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So far, I have explored the entire east coast from Melbourne to Cairns and fell in love with the country straight away. Over the next few months, I want to circumnavigate the whole of Australia and in the meantime, I can help you plan your trip to Australia and New Zealand. If you want to rent a camper, I will find you the best offers and put them together for you. I look forward to supporting you and sharing my insider tips, especially for New Zealand. <\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” url=”https:\/\/wa.me\/61404693172″ text=”WhatsApp”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
