About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and enjoy. Depart, explore and arrive. Learn and change.

ABOUT ME

I've been an avid traveler for as long as I can remember. My mom took me the most amazin places when I was young which most likely kindled my fascination for traveling. I've been on Couchsurfing for several years throughout my studies of Geosciences and had the most amazing experiences! What I love about Couchsurfing is that you get to meet incredible people from all over the world. So far I was not able to host guest, but I recently moved into my first flat which opens up a couch and gives me the chance to give back to other travelers!

I enjoy nature, good talks and long walks. Tinkering and solving technical problems of all kinds are some of my most useful skills. I'm currently studying to become a teacher in "Computer Sciences" and "Geography and Economics".

When it comes to hobbies, beachvolleyball comes out close to the top of the list. When meeting up with friends I LOVE to play board games (I actually own quite a few). If there is good music and enough room I love to dance!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your life, but try your best to spread no harm while doing so.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love the idea of getting to know locals while traveling. When it comes to hosting, I'm exited for my first guests in Vienna!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to help my hosts with running their household. Cleaning things that have been sitting on the shelf for ages, do the dishes or finally oil that squeaking door.

Talking about travelling and how to spend our time on this planet wisely are great topics to discuss while having a glass of wine in the evening!
