Hi, I am a freelance photographer and art restoration student. I am happy to call Vienna my current home town, where I am living in a shared house with 5 people, two cats and a lot of plants.

Vienna is so beautiful with its' old architecture, museums, parks and moody people ;)

The first half of 2022 I spent in Naples, Italy, for an Erasmus Semester. Napoli and the open hearted locals will always have a place in my heart from now on!

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SURFERS: I have a lot of work to do for university at the moment and with my 5000 hobbies on top my schedule is quite tight. So unfortunately I won't have a lot of time to hang out. But I am always open to share dinner or talk over the morning coffee :)

When I host I am most happy to taste traditional vegetarian meals from my guest's culture. If you don't like to cook, you can make me happy by bringing me your favourite snacks or a small artisanal piece from home (but please no classic souvenirs)!

Interessen

I am a very curious person and have many hobbies and interests. Everything I do, I do with excitement!

I love doing creative things with my hands in general, like crafting, pottery, cooking, fermenting, I make soaps and tinctures and grow a lot of herbs and plants. I also collect herbs from nature that I can integrate in my cooking or to make tea and liqueurs.

Coming from the heart of the Alps you could say I 'obviously' like hiking, but also swimming, yoga and riding my bike.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I like all music you can dance to - so you'll likely find me dancing on a downtempo-festival, but I also like to fall into the dreamy rythms of 60s psychedelic rock or totally lose my shit in front of a huge reggae-soundsystem.

Since I used to be a lindy hop addict, I also just love the music of the swing era! Especially the women, such as Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

A few years back I went on a big roadtrip with three friends. Starting in Vienna we drove over 8000km to the north-east of Europe and saw Kiew, Chernobyl, Minsk, St Petersburg, Santa Claus Village in Finland at the Polar Circle, Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, the Curonian Spit, Gdansk and much more.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

What I could teach: a bit of german, photography techniques, the basics of swing dancing, fermentation

I'd like to learn about the people of the country I'm visiting, what the language is like or if you have a favourite recipe from your grandma you'd like to show me ;)
