ABOUT ME

I'm a very active und creative person. It's my nature to be in action. Always open-hearted and friendly and in search of anything new. My hobbies are riding horses (I'm the proudly owner of an icelandhorse), drawing or painting. My studie of art history is completed and I really enjoyed this time.
Now I'm working for a company named art&event (http://www.art-event.com/dekorationen). We craft stage settings, costumes and all kind of stage properties. I'm not a stagedesigner - I'm one of three painters in my company and we're doing, what stagedesigners told us to do! ;) You think, that sounds cool....no! It definitely IS cool!!! :)

What else about me?!?! I'm sharing my home with two cats and (actually 3) grey-parrots. I really love my pets and take care of them as good as possible! Maybe the parrots will talk to you?!
So if you're allergic to cats fur or feather dust....probably you should search for another couch?!....If not (or wanna find out)---> send me message! :)

Best way to reach me: valerie.tschida@gmx.at or on facebook (I'm the only girl with this name in Graz!)

PHILOSOPHY

Go your own way! Take courage and change your life if you don't like it the way it is! You can't make mistakes - it's just another chance to learn! (even if it hurts)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm young, I'm free...I want to travel, to learn, to discover and to meet interesting people and to see their lives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The guys I hosted were very friendly and funny! It's always nice to learn about other cultures and traditions. On my travels I never had any problems. The Couchsurfers were always helpful and kind. I love travelling by couchsurfing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer to you - grammatically imperfect conversations ;), guide you to good restaurants, show you around, a matress on my bedrooms floor (for a few nights), if I've time enough I could cook for you something really authentic austrian : )
