CURRENT MISSION

Live in the moment, because that's all we have!

ABOUT ME

I feel that with the right people, anywhere in the World is home! I am a very light-hearted person that enjoys meeting new people and learning about different cultures, and not just in a touristy way! I am always happy to help out with cleaning up, or offering to cook a meal in return for having a couch to stay on. I am half German/half American and currently living in Vienna, Austria. I am interested in art, nature, music, dancing, and sharing stories on the differences and similarities between our cultures!

PHILOSOPHY

Life fully in this present moment, because this moment is all you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this time, I am not able to offer a couch- but hopefully I'll be able to change this section soon to offer a place for people to rest and enjoy a relaxing moment with a cup of tea and a good story or two to swap.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed for the first time in August of 2010 in Illinois! The experience was so rewarding that I am inspired to be a part of this community and open up to a whole new way of traveling!

Interests

I am completely interested in art! Being a painter, if there is ever a chance to explore a museum or local arts, then I am there! I also really enjoy reading, listening to music, walking in nature,taking pictures of trees, eating chocolate and drinking tea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have gone hang-gliding in the Swiss Alps...it was the most closest experience I have had to being a bird-and it was amazing to be so close to-and part of-nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn from what others have to offer, especially new languages and different types of tea! Some interesting things I may be able to share: Painting techniques, origami, cooking different foods, music, and I am open to learning and sharing whatever I can offer.
