About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After traveling 8 months in Asia im back in Europe over the summer before I head for a longer period to South America.

I tried Couchsufing 9 years ago and had a very a good experience in Singapore. But then I continued to stay in hostels or guesthouses and forgot a bit about Couchsufing..

I loved to stay in hostels because of the easy way to get in touch with other travelers, exchange travel experiences and insider tips or just to hear interesting stories of people from all over the world. Unfortunately I realized on my last long trip in Southeast Asia, that the vibe has changed a bit. Lots of travelers are just hanging on their Smartphones and are not open to interact with others anymore.

I love to meet interesting people from all over the world and have great conversations.

ABOUT ME

Almost 10 years ago I quit my job as an HR Manager and went traveling for 1 year - yes, at this time I got the travel bug. When I came back I changed my life completely, I did a new study in Counseling and after finishing I opened my studio as a Life Coach. I love it to help others finding a solution for their problems and struggles, to help others over difficult situations or to help them to find their own way to be happy in life..
... But once infected with the travel bug, I had to move again - so I closed my studio after 5 years and became a full time traveler...
... I just came back from 8 months in Southeast Asia to spend the summer in Europe - I have my home base in Linz (Austria) and will do shorter trips during summer...
...In autumn I gonna head to Latin America

PHILOSOPHY

To feel alive, we have to step out of our comfort zone. Trust, that everything will fall in place and magic can happen 😊

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
