Hey there! :)

I moved back to Austria, currently halfway staying in Vienna and Lower Austria. If you wanna stay in Lower Austria, my family has a nice house in the countryside (Neulengbach).
I also have the flat in Vienna for myself till February so I can host you in Vienna as well. :)
I only have one key atm, so we'd have to figure out schedules.

CURRENT MISSION

Think outside – no box required.

ABOUT ME

My name is Victoria, 23, just finished my degree in film. I love dancing, traveling, photography, musicals & concerts, swimming, hiking, nature & animals, abandoned places, deep talks, writing, cooking and history. And of course I have some obsessions over some movies and tv shows, but I'd trade my internet connection for real life experiences any time.
I speak German and English, very little Esperanto and I'm trying to improve my French.
I'd say I'm a very creative and free-minded person, I can laugh about the weirdest things, but I'm also very rational. I'm often the person that comes up with some crazy ideas and I gets easily enthusiastic about things. Also I'm quite busy so I'm still using the profile text I had when I signed up here and only tweak it when necessary...

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom is to determine your limits yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed only two times, since I'm usually more of the spontaneous hitchhiker and it's hard to find hosts online when you don't even know where you'll end up. I usually prefer meeting people in person and some awesome people invited me into their homes while I was traveling!
Finally moved into a big city so I can host people now. xD (no one ever wanted to come to the countryside :((

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only surf very rarely over this site, but I already found some hosts over tumblr, when I went to certain events, or planned a trip somewhere. Also I had some spontaneous couch experiences, for example when I met someone at a musical show and got invited over for the stay. Or once when I assumed I had to sleep outside I ran into a punk and I got invited into an occupied house – they even had a working oven, some artists inviting me over for a movie night, a lovely estonian family that let me have my first sauna experience and so much food I couldn't even take it all!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm nearly finished with graphic design school, I know some stuff about design, photography, illustrations, typography, webdesign and I'm a pretty decent artist. I usually work with Adobe programs and pen and paper. I could offer help with all the stuff above and some drawing/painting basics. (:

I'd love to learn an instrument, because I've never really been the musical person, but I'm so fascinated when someone knows an instrument. I own a harmonica, irish flute, a guitar and a keyboard and I can't play any of it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not originally from Vienna but I know some places. If you're into dancing, I'm very into the local swing & blues dance community. We also have taster classes all the time if you wanna learn it. :)
