I am an Austrian language teacher and enjoy travelling more than anything. Whenever I can, I pack my bag and go to foreign places, learn new languages, get to know local people, food, and culture, ... and discover all the beautiful places that our world has to offer. :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to share knowledge and experiences, have a great time together, and connect with new people and places on a deeper and more interesting level. Without any doubt, it is always awesome to make new friends and I would also be happy to invite you to my place in Vienna in that case (I even have a hammock to offer :P).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching comedies, documentaries, diverse TV shows (all kinds such as Breaking Bad, Big Bang Theory, GoT, Sex and the City, Narcos, la Casa del Papel, ...), true-based stories, and listening to exotic music that makes you want to dance.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages:
I love learning and teaching languages and am always happy to practice together.

Food and fitness:
I am a certified Fitness- and Personaltrainer and am very much into healthy and clean eating (btw: I am also a flexitarian which means that I am trying to live as vegan as possible).
Hence, I am looking forward to exchange traditional and healthy recipes or to go for a run or a walk/hike/bike-tour/whatsoever physical activity together.

Cooking:
If requested, I can cook a traditional Austrian dish, for instance an apple strudel or potato goulash. I can also bring you whichever Austrian treat you would like. However generally, I do prefer eating over cooking. ;-P

Travel advice:
Can't wait to share travel experiences and listen to your most amazing stories.
