About Me

CURRENT MISSION

hakuna matata!

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and meeting people from all over the world to learn more about the different cultures, mentalities, making new friends and... the fooooood - seriously I love eating :)
How will you be able to learn more about all these things if not meeting locals who know how the wind blows?
I'm outgoing, open-minded, humorous, trustworthy, caring and love having a good time with people

PHILOSOPHY

not taking life too serious: make myself and others laugh - carpe diem... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well, mostly while travelling: I was hosted or met locals for a drink... I loved to get together with locals for learning about their culture, learning about their perspective and having a good exchange of worldviews, vibes - however you might call this...I'm absolutely willing to offer the same to travellers while I am back in town - it's a great opportunity to travel even when you stay at home... ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was couchsurfing in Canada and the US, hanging out with couchsurfers back in Austria and I met very interesting people - different and fun to hang out with!
