I grew up in Graz, the second biggest city of Austria. After finishing high school I moved to Berlin to study medicine. I moved here 5 years ago and still love this unique and multicultural city.

In my freetime I like doing sports, especially fencing. Ever since I started fencing as a child, I took part in competitions all around the world, which was always linked to discovering new places and cultures. You might have already been to some of them, such as Athens in Greece, while others may seem a little obscure to you, such as Baku in Azerbaijan. Due to my studies I unfortunately can't take part in international competitions anymore, but I still love travelling. Last winter I took a semester off to discover parts of South-East Asia (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When being in a new country/city, I like to stay with locals rather than staying on my own - to get off the beaten track and peek behind the curtains.
