CURRENT MISSION

getting used to living in Europe and dealing with the winter...

ABOUT ME

We are an international couple living in Vienna. Lisa is from San Francisco (USA) and Chris is from a small town near Linz (Austria). We met in Bali (2006) and now we live together in Vienna. Chris is working in social work with troubled youth and Lisa teaches social work courses at the FH Campus Wien. We made our first experience with Couchsurfing in Tanzania and met great people to hang out with. We both love travelling (especially to India!) and can't wait to meet more international people.

Due to family visiting or travel out of Austria, we are not able to host during the following times this year (2012):
March 28 - April 24
May 25 - June 17

FYI: We have 2 lovely cats!

PHILOSOPHY

We are two different people, no mutual philosophy (just married... still figuring each other out:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are providing our couch for people who are interested in basic socializing and having an intercultural exchange (rather than just having a couch to crash on!). Also we are interested in showing people around Vienna and going out for coffee or drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just positive experience in meeting great people and having an interesting exchange...
