Hey there everyone :-)

My name is Karin, I am 22 and I come from Enns, Upper Austria. Right now I go to nursing school in Steyr to get my diploma in nursing and I also study nursing sciences in Salzburg.
When I was 16 I lived in Midland, Texas. I did a student exchange and went to high school for a year, therefore I speak very good English and enjoy having native speakers or English speaking people around me.

On weekends I work as a waitress to save money for my upcoming travels. I will finish my bachelor's degree in March 2017 and will move to Vienna to get my master's degree in fall...in between I will tour Asia for half a year or be an au-pair in India - we'll see...wherever life takes me :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My dream: since I love traveling, one of my biggest dreams is to see as many countries of the world as possible. I don't just want to visit a country, I want to get to know its culture and the way of living by meeting/staying with locals.

By taking part at CouchsurfingI hope to get know lots of interesting people who want to share part of their/my travels with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My exchange year in America.
I worked as a teacher in a school in Ghana. I tutored dyslexic children in English.

Teach, Learn, Share

My philosophy is to "leave this world a little bit better than we found it". Be open minded, don't judge, forgive, love, be happy, laugh and enjoy every single moment - it's the little things that make life worth it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I only have a little place to stay but if anyone ever wants to come to Enns, the oldest town of Austria, I would enjoy hosting and showing them around.
