CURRENT MISSION

Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

ABOUT ME

My name is Brigitte, I'm a student & living in the 2nd district of Vienna.

In brief: I grew up close to Graz in the South of Austria, took a highschool exchange semester to Nantes, France at the age of 16. A gap year after highschool graduation then took me to Brussels, Belgium, where I became fluent in French and learnt basic Dutch (Flamish). Going back to Graz for my Bachelor in Earth Sciences let me refresh my friendships & contacts back home. As i can not sit still for too long however, I then went to Taiwan to spend 6 months at the national chung hsing university. a relict from that time is my tumblr: http://mydodolist.tumblr.com/ Please feel free to check it out

Nowadays I am doing a Master's in Environmental Geoscience at the University of Vienna.

I'd consider myself as optimistic and easy-going. If you wanna hang out with me, just hit that little icon and let me know! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to find great people to share activities, dicussions and quality time with. I am also very pleased about a simple mug of coffee, a nice glass of wine or a pint as well.

I am usually up for museums, cinema, theatre, hiking and trailing, music, discussing politics and the world, watching good or absolutely trashy films, going out for "one beer" and ending up at cranky places or simply chilling in a park or so

Interests

One of my main passions is cooking. I love being creative with ingredients and spices I got to know during my travels. So I definitely would love to share our experiences en cuisine and there is always enough space to bring some friends along!

Additionally to university I am a volunteer at AFS - intercultural student exchange, just as I did myself in Nantes, France in 2008.
