Hi, I am Lena, 25 yo girl from Austria. Let's see, what do you have to know about me? I talk and laugh a lot, I lived in the States for a year to work as an Au Pair and I miss my host kids like crazy, I do not eat meat, I am obsessed with tiny things, I am a cat person, the beach is my happy place, I love lemon ice cream and I have a list for everything.

I study English, Physical Education and History at University of Vienna to become a teacher, eventually. It might still take a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels are boring. Couchsurfing rocks!

Interests

I love traveling, drinking tea, watching sunsets, laughing at my own jokes, sports, summer nights, cliff jumping, my bed, evening walks, grocery shops in foreign countries, books, live music, winning at my favorite card game, road trips, street food, quality time with my family, sarcasm, watching the stars, piggyback rides, obsessing over characters of my favorite TV show(s) and talking about them like they are my friends, rooftops, embracing my inner child, shower concerts, Christmas time, floating in the sea, dancing for therapeutic purposes and planning my future while walking through IKEA.
