hey guys! it's Lena
i am 21 and a student living in Vienna, Austria.
whenever there's time I try to get out, be it for hiking experiences or just seeking for sunsets at the sea.

sometimes I travel by hitchhiking too as it is a great way to meet very interesting and inspiring people, it's exciting and can be very challenging.

i’m pretty uncomplicated, love to hang out in the evenings and am open getting to know new people from totally different places and cultures!

i used this account with David, my ex-boyfriend who’s still a friend of mine, so that’s why some reviews are about him :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

the question is why not haha
couchsurfing is just the best application you may find for getting in touch with people from all over the world. be it as a traveller while surfing or as a steady host. and then there is this beautiful thing called hangouts! oh my, how many wonderful people i’ve met during my time on couchsurfing.
never have I ever thought that it can be so easy to get in touch with people, especially in bigger hangout groups, but it turned out to be a total success!
so many gorgeous souls out there :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent my childhood in Guatemala and i still feel a deep connection with the country and culture. My parents moved back there a few years ago, so I have the possibility to visit frequently.

a friend and I were on a 6-day-hike in the carnic alps (carinthia/eastern tyrol) what turned out to be a great experience for us, as we really got to know our physical and mental boundaries..

in summer 2022 I made my first solo trip in costa rica. definitely a lesson for life.

already looking forward to following experiences in the future which might help knowing myself even better than before! :)
