Heyo, my name is Astrid and I am from Austria, but have been living all over the world lately. Latest in South America where I lived, worked and learned how to surf in Peru. The last month I spent at the costs of Spain and France, with one week exception of being in the Pyrenees to guide my scout group from Austria. Soon I will be heading home so I want to enjoy the last days. If you ever visit Vienna you are very welcome to come by or ask me to show you around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea behind couch surfing, connecting people and getting to know a place through the eyes of a local. I also believe that I can share a lot with my hosts.

Me encanta la idea de Couch surf, de conectar gente y de conocer un lugar a través de los ojos de un local. También, pienso que puedo compartir mucho con mi anfitrión.

Teach, Learn, Share

Apart I can share languages, book and travel tips, food, surfing, living sustainable.
