Hello World!

I'm a young, enthusiastic and open-minded Austrian Student who loves the unknown.
One word to describe myself: easy-going. I'll find joy and happiness in every single moment. In the little things like chatting with random strangers on the bus or the big adventures like exploring the beauty of nature far off the beaten path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have experienced the priceless memories you can get by meeting locals, hang out with people from all over the world and really get to know the culture of a new place. I've learned so much about foreign culture and made friendships that probably gonna last a lifetime through such experiences.

I simply love meeting new people and instead of bumping into the next hostel full of Europeans and Aussies I want to meet people with different backgrounds, new exciting stories and interesting opinions.

I believe that couchsurfing is the ideal way to make this happen.

Interests

The three things that I value most in travelling are: People, Culture and Food

There is no greater thing than good company and honest talks and maybe a few beers. The topics can vary greatly! Love talking about culture, diving, technology, countries, travelling, reading...

If you additionally let this happen over a shared meal, I am the happiest person you could possibly meet :) I am so excited about constantly tasting new dishes and spices - the spicier, the merrier ;)
Rule to life by: The crazier the better. You don't believe I would taste every odd dish your cuisine can offer? - Challenge accepted!

Music, Movies, and Books

In music I'm deeply into good old clean techno. I love the original Berlin artists. But obviously it varies on the mood and location, I'm not that picky ;)

I really enjoy Quentin Tarantino movies, documentaries about countries&music.

Mostly I read non-fictional books about countries and fascinating people - I'm happy to get your book recommendations :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spontaneously extended my last trip for a few weeks because the people from the Philippines were so welcoming!
