CURRENT MISSION

It's not only the places I want to see when traveling, it's the encounters I want to make.

ABOUT ME

I am 25, Austrian by passport and I finished my Masters degree in education earlier this year and now I'm working in the probably most amazing job (teacher) in Austria.

I'd describe myself as very outgoing, confident, open minded, sociable and optimistic! I am very much looking forward to meeting many interesting people during my travels rather than being "imprisoned" in a fancy hotel together with other tourists who don't want to engage with the local culture.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I studied abroad 3 times and I got to know wonderful people from various countries whenever I lived somewhere else, but now, as I'm kind of "stuck" in a fantastic job as a teacher in Austria (except for vacation) I'd love to use every occasion to make more international friends and to welcome them at my home as well.

and of course:
to exchange thoughts and ideas
to spread kindness

Interests

I love traveling, architecture, arts, new cultures, new food!!!, yoga

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Overcoming a culturally imposed rule that girls shouldn't travel alone... I did it - various times - and it was probably the best decision I could have ever made.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: positivity
Learn: about other people's views
Share: kindness and respect

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all: please don't judge me on my little elaborated profile - I'm getting started to become a full member of this community - and I assume you all remember how you started off. :-)

I am full of optimism and I would like to share my positive attitudes with you.

I've been to quite a few countries already, so I'd love to share stories and advice about these destinations as we're getting to know each other.
