Hello!

As a language student (Russian and English) I absolutely love to meet people from all over the world. I love to see new places, experience new cultures, and of course..have a good chat. :)
So..about me:
I would consider myself as pretty outgoing (although I can be a little bit shy in the beginning...so like... in the first 5 minutes :D ), so it's not really hard to start a conversation with me. I'm very curious about different cultures, languages etc. so I might ask one or two questions about living in your country or might ask you to say something in your mother tongue (I even might try to pronounce these words as well, which might be super embarrassing for me and hilarious for you :D). I like to talk about politics, history, movies, or just about anything that is more than "what is your favorite color?". However, sometimes I also enjoy quiet evenings with a good movie or a nice board game. So I'd say I'm pretty flexible and easy to entertain.
Maybe good to know: I don't eat animal products (dairy products, meat ...) for various reasons. This doesn't change much though... I'm just not going to sit down with you and drink milk. I'm gonna have an oat drink instead .. or good old tea. And no.. I'm not gonna judge you, get in your face or even talk to you about this (except if you ask of course, then I'm happy to answer any questions :) ). I like the motto: "Live and let live" :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find meeting people from different countries (and especially the ones I travel to) very interesting. It's just so motivating to see people talk in the languages that I am currently trying to acquire.

Interests

Meeting friends, traveling, playing board games, playing volleyball, going biking, hiking, climbing, watching movies and obviously: speaking in different languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

I absolutely love Hans Zimmer and his music. Other than that I don't really have somethings like a "favorite band, song etc.". There are days where I prefer classical music, and others where I would just listen to pretty much anything on the radio. Same goes for books and movies. Depending on my mood I like to watch horror movies, thrillers, drama etc.

Oh..but I absolutely hate hard rock and heavy metal...that's just for tough guys..and I'm not one of them :D.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh so many great experiences. In summer 2017 I travelled around the U.S. West coast (California, Utah, Nevada etc.). This was the best trip ever. Suuuch a beautiful landscape and wonderful, interesting people.
Also, I studied in Russia for a year, which was a great experience too (especially finding out how different life in Russia is compared to life in Austria)
