I'm a colourful, outgoing person (even though I can be a little shy at first). I'm a huge nerd when it comes to films, tv shows, music and lots of other stuff and can talk for hours about my passions.
When I'm traveling I mostly like to keep to myself and explore a city on my own. So I'd like to stay with hosts that are okay with not constantly spending time together.
I am polite and considerate and don't expect much from a host.
And lastly I'm a vegetarian and eat mostly vegan food, so if you're a vegan who's uncomfortable with people eating animal products in your home, I'd be totally fine with eating vegan during my stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Short version: I'm young, I like to travel and I have no money. ^^
Long version: Courchsurfing is amazing to really experience a city and to get a feel for the people living there. I've met some wonderful people through this platform and I am really thankful for my past experiences on here. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completing Middle School by teaching myself at home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very good cook and baker and I love to cook for others. I am especially good at giving tips to vegans since I was living vegan for 2 years and still mostly cook and bake vegan dishes. :)
All my hosts get some Austrian sweets. If there is anything specific from Austria you're interested in, just tell me and I'll get you some when I come.
Also my English is at a level where I can translate from German to English and vice versa. So if you have any interest in learning some German or want small stuff to be translated, just ask.

Countries I’ve Visited
