About Me

- passion for photography - languages - people in general - sunshine - bare feet - laughter - writing letters - faith

I am an outgoing, open, chatty, creative, spontaneous but in a way also very organized person and love to be around people and nature.

ABOUT MY HOME

I live in a really cute apartment together with two other girls. It's close to the river, a park, an ice rink, a pretty cool bridge, a supermarket and when you look out of the windows...man, I just love the view :)
(don't want to spoil anything here, haha).

Since I live in a shared apartment, I can only host FEMALE CS. Sorry guys. ✌🏼
You can stay in our living room (if possible please bring your own sleeping bag), however we would appreciate it if you respect the privacy of my house mates. This means that you would have to leave the house together with me when I head to work around 7 a.m. during weekdays. If this suits your plans you are more than welcome to stay at my place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to take the chance to get to know people from all over the world. So that's the reason why I travel. :)
And since I'm at the moment working in Salzburg and don't get the opportunity to travel long-term, I want to open up my home for all the ones who share my passion for traveling the world and who want to experience the culture of the country.

I also worked as a volunteer in an international hostel in the heart of Amsterdam four years ago and this was one of the greatest experiences ever.
Everyday I got the chance to "meet" different cultures, experiences, countries, stories and opinions. And I guess these are some of many reasons why I love to explore the world: Building up friendships.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love my life crazy, so...
- one day I left work as usual , got on my bike and biked to the sea with my friend. From Salzburg. Over 460 km in 24,5 hours. Man, was my butt red when we got there 😅
-swimming in torrential rivers
- sleeping in airports, at train stations, in buses,...
- drinking 20 cups of coffee in one day (haha, there's a story behind)
- traveling by myself in many different countries
- traveling with friends through Europe every now and then
- joining a skater gang in Rotterdam (why not) and realizing later that I'm not even good in skating
- late night walks

Uhm, and I'm already for 14 years a vegetarian because I won a bet that I had with my grandma. Kind of a long story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to tell stories and hear stories of others :)
Oh, and I love words. Words in any language and with any meaning.
You have stories to tell and words to share? I'm in!

"I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life.
If you are interested in something, no matter what it is,
GO AT IT FULL SPEED.
Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it.
Lukewarm is no good."- Roald Dahl
