Overview
About Me
__________________________________________
Hey lovely Couchsurfing-Community!
I'm an open-minded and easy-going person who likes to share activities and experiences. I studied (Psychology, Philosophy, Spanish and Pedagogic), worked (as a reformpedagogical teacher in primary school) and lived in beautiful Vienna. Since 2022 I'm living and working in Madrid, enjoying my free time exploring and enjoying Spain and spanish culture to the fullest.
Whenever there is time I like to pack my things and get to know new places and people or visit the ones I already got to know.
My interests basically never stop... I'm very curious about life in general.
Some things I love in no specific order: to live in a sustainable way, sleeping outdoors, cook and eat
healthy food, practice yoga, enjoy good music, exchange offshoots from my plants, eating chocolate,
visit flea markets, permaculture, drinking coffee while reading a book, create an inclusive society, long-distance hiking,
Vipassana, work with kids and young adults, active listening and non-violent communication, festivals and
concerts, activism, bus and train travel, watching the sky, interaction with human beings,...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I had so many beautiful experiences through Couchsurfing along my way in Latin America, Canary Islands, Italy, France,... and other travels. Every single person I've got to know was an absolute enrichment. I'm always trying to share this positive travel vibe with everybody who crosses my way.
