hey! **dont ask me if we can be friends if we even never met before**
**if u want to stay at my couch please make an official request**

Love to have people around, I am outgoing, love to tell stories (they can be pretty long if you dont stop me), I like to have and make fun although many people won't understand my (austrian) sort of humor. I think I am an empathic human being and I think others should be too. BUT sometimes I really need my space alone. I traveled already some countries, but I really need to explore more of this beautiful world before we destroy it completely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, make contact, learn about different cultures and habits, about food and arts. I think its the best way to get to know a place and the people who live in there. A zoom-in I guess.

Interests

I love to click pictures with analogue cameras & film
I write postcards & letters
I practice yoga and try to be mindful about me and my body and my emotional side
you will always find me near good (vegetarian/vegan) food and nice wine (i love white wine) or gin & gintonic ;)
you will always find me near an ocean aswell. i think i was born and raised in the wrong country, something's strange here (landlocked)
besides reading, watching movies, making & listening to music i love to surf, although i am still a beginner it makes so much fund and scence

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

learning how to surf ( i am still beginner though) and i think its pretty amazing that i lived and worked in india for 9 months, karaoke in tokio

Teach, Learn, Share

i can cook pretty good vegan and vegetarian stuff and i can "bake" rawvegan almost healthy sweet things, of course i am willing to share some recipes or we cook together,
i want to learn languages better - at the moment its português but i am open to others too, in return i can teach you some german (i was a german teacher too)
i can talk hours about literature, language and books
i want to learn how to surf better and everyything about the ocean

What I Can Share with Hosts

i have a couch which can function as a bed aswell, i share my kitchen, my bathroom.
the couch is in my living room, as i live alone most of the time, it would only be me getting through the livingroom to my bedroom.
sometimes i swapped the rooms also, so that you can have your own space, but usually I do this only when I have really shitty times to wake up and come back home.
if i dont have to work too much (bookseller and i have my own small business too) I like to show my guests around, show some special places, take you to restaurants you wouldnt have noticed, also we can see if you like to visit me in my small cabana near the danube outside of vienna (in summermonths)
