About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Changing the mission!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the middle of nowhere in Germany and after I finished school I went to the US to work there. While I was in the States I met some great people from Austria who persuaded me to study with them in Austria and that's why I ended up in this little charming fairy tale city called Salzburg studying communication management... and I enjoy every second in this lovely country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a lot of people in Austria but I also got the chance to surf the couches of amazing guys around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every single experience I made with the program so far was something special, great and thrilling. Somehow it is hard for me to imagine how travelling was before I got to know Couchsurfing.
