Hi:) I live in Vienna and am currently doing the German Preparation Programme at the Uni Wien. I Live in a student dorm, so unfortunately I cannot house anyone, but I would love to meet up if you do come to Vienna :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a budget travel (not surprising, being a student and all..:) and that is why I made the decision of signing up here. I hoped that in this way, I would find it easier and more comfortable to travel, as well as have the opportunity to meet new and interesting people.

Interests

I do love everything to do with Literature, Art, Movies, Theater, Dance, Music. Sadly, I was not gifted with a talent for either one of those things, so I the only thing I am left to do is enjoy other people's masterpieces. I am pretty bad at cooking, though i do enjoy it very much, and try to learn as much as possible. I enjoy experiencing new cultures, and traditional food is a massive part of that process. I crave travel and would do nothing but explore if i had the time and ability.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a favourite anything - I enjoy a wide variety of genres and styles because i am not the kind of person who likes to limit themselves with such boundaries. What I can do is say which of the latest music, movies and books that i have heard/seen/read i have enjoyed best
Music - American Daydream by Electric Guest
- Маршрутка by Iowa (Yes, some Russian songs are great too)
Movies - The Best Offer (2013)
- An Education (2009)
Books - The Signature of all Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a crazy spontaneous decision and, after a LOT of struggle (won't go into detail but let us just say it was the most difficult thing i have ever done up to this moment in my life) ended up living in Vienna.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English for one summer. They were school kids, but i am pretty proud of that. Also proves I can teach - which is one great asset. The parents ended up very happy.
I used to dance for 5 years , professionally. In a real Troupe. It was pretty insane. So there we go - another skill. I can dance pretty decently and i enjoy it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for Wine and cheese, a workable knowledge of Vienna, and Cyprus (my home for the previous 16 years), Movie advice (I need to brag - i know some pretty great movies that you know you would love to see), the knowledge of Russian and English (as i said, i can teach), amateur drawing skills, a lust for adventure and a whole lot of positive vibes:)
