Hi Guys!!
My name is Elisabeth and I am a teacher in Graz, Austria. Friends and family consider me a very open-minded person who loves travelling, doing all kinds of sports, interacting with poeple, reading and learning languages as I study in the fields of German, English and French. I always seek to broaden my horizon and seize every possible opportunity to try out new things, for example Yoga and different dancing styles such as Bachata.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As already mentioned, I love travelling and by meeting up with locals the experience of the journey deepens by a vast extent. Being with someone who is not a tourist in the country enables you to gain a totally different perspective on the country/ city/town. By interacting we can all learn sooo much and thats what travelling is all about. I am looking forward to hosting and to hopefully being hosted so that I can get to know a variety of people and communicate with them.

Interests

SALSA!! I spend 3-4 evenings dancing Salsa in my current place of residence, Graz.
Besides dancing I love to go for a run, hike in the nearby mountains, meet friends for lunch/dinner or other sports activity such as volleyball, squash. If the weather is nice I relish being at the local park reading a capitvating book.
As spending time with youngsters and children is very fulfilling, I work as a private teacher helping students in English and German and also teach infants of 3-6 to learn how to swim.
