I love travelling and exploring new countries, cultures and cuisines. So far, I haven't had the chance or the right travel partner to do a lot couch surfing, although I've already created my account a long time ago. I pretty much forgot about it, but I recently made the resolution to change the way I travel - at least for some of my trips - and get started with this interesting, fun, adventurous and much more social way of exploring the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to get to know places in a way that's different from the standard tourist experience, connect with locals and share memorable moments and travel stories with like-minded people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, pretty much everything except hardcore death metal and cheesy country songs, but for example Black Keys, Miike Snow, Dennis Lloyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Austrian Indie

Anything from the Gilgamesh Epos to the newest best sellers, as long as there is an unexpected plot twist or I like the cover, ideally both

Movies I've recently seen which I enjoyed: Gone Girl, Mr. Nobody, Into the Wild, Boyhood

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 Things - 2 true, 1 false:

- I've illegally crossed to Mexican/US border.
- I've already been to North Korea.
- I once dove with a tiger shark.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm an English teacher, I should be quite good at teaching English^^
But I could definitely also show you how to make turns on a snowboard, how to play some cool Austrian card games, how to play the guitar or how to cook some really good couscous bowls ;)

Regarding learning, I'm always happy to explore new things, regardless of what it is :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
