ABOUT ME
I'm a 30 year old girl from Vienna/Austria who used to live in Zurich/Switzerland and who is travelling the USA and Canada for 2 1/2 months right now. Back home, I will move to Munich/Germany and work in PR, but right now I want to travel, explore and meet interesting new people.
Confused? Well I am a bit, too. It's a tough one to answer the question where I'm from at the moment...
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live... Haha, so cheesy, but I can't think of a better one and think there's a point to that.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
at the moment I don't have a home, but hopefully will have one again soon after my travels, which will be in Munich. I like to meet new people and show them all the beautiful spots of my citly, though.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am still working on more experience, but so far I have met great people and had interesting conversations over beers and food, got the best recommendations on where to go and found new friends. I think you get to know the places you travel so much better when staying with locals.

I also like to read Scandinavian thrillers, and am hooked on a couple of tv shows (Girls, Raising Hope, New Girl, Friends, Grey's Anatomy)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I guess travelling for 2 1/2 months and travelling alone will definitely be one if these things.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am vegetarian, have been since I was 14, but I don't have a problem with people eating meat and definitely won't try to convince you to turn into one.
Otherwise, I can speak German and a bit of Swiss German, cook risotto, pasta, curry and some really good Austrian dishes, teach you how to snowboard (I was working as an instructor for quite a while ;) ) or tell you all the great places to go to in Zurich, Vienna and Munich, my three "hometowns" - and believe me, there are lots!
