My name is Julian , I am 20 years old and live in Graz , Austria.
I have just finished my civil service which is mandatory and before starting to study medicine I am using the summer break to see other places in the world.
I am visiting the USA for three months. During this time I hope to see as many new places as possible.
My main interests in this trip are to get in touch with the American culture, lifestile and of course to meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think it's a great place to meet local people and to get a feeling of the lifestyle.

Interests

I really enjoy sports (judo, volleyball, cycling, hiking ). When I am not outside I like to read a good book or watch some TV-shows. I also go out with friends to party a lot .
I got a license for scuba diving but due to Austria's lack of access to the sea I get way too little practice. When I get the opportunoty to dive I enjoy the feeling of flying through a completely different world.
Another important aspect of my life is to travel. At the beginning with my famely and now with friends or alone. I relish to travel around the world , meet new people, get in touch with new cultures and to discover the many hidden secrets of this planet.
Other than that I spend a big part of my time volunteering as a paramedic for the red cross.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer I canoed with some friends of mine trough a fjord in Norway. We had just a tent, a camping stove and supplies for ten day's. We build up our camp on beaches , cliffs or in forrests and experienced the nature very close up - we even saw dolphins and a sea hawk.
