I'm adventurous, open minded and curious about meeting new people, especially from elsewhere around the globe. In my life I got to spend quite some time abroad (volunteered in Bolivia, studied in Mexico, worked in Barcelona and got to make friends in many different countries I visited).
Germany is home, but I suffer of severe Fernweh most of the time :)
Last summer I moved to Innsbruck with my boyfriend, for the mountains.
And damn, they're beautiful!

I enjoy connecting to nature through climbing and hiking (especially in places with awesome views). I started Mountainbiking here in Innsbruck and try to do yoga a lot (but never frequently enough). Also this is my first skiing season!

**If you're not interested in spending some time together or just look for a cheap sleep-over, please don't request a stay.

***Please don't request for dates weeks from now. I will most likely decline, because I don't know yet ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My mom calls it "Paying forward" which I feel is a lovely term. Since in my many times abroad I've experienced hospitality and kindness in so many ways, for me, it's also "giving back" , though.

Couchsurfing (a bit like rock climbing) makes for totally different memories than just rushing through somewhere with a ticklist of places you need a selfie with. You also get to meet people, with which you might never have exchanged a single word.

Interests

I'm all about the outdoors, experiencing nature and the beauty it has to offer.
I'm very much into rock climbing (preferrebly on proper rock outdoors), enjoy yoga and would like to learn more about acro-yoga. I put up a slackline every now and then or just relax with a book.
I like drawing and reading, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I lived in a VW Caddy on ~4 square meters with my boyfriend for 3.5 months while traveling and climbing all over Spain - secretly taking nightly showers in tiny springs, freezing our asses off in January and meeting all kinds of interesting people on the way.
You really realize how little things you actually need.

* Summitted after over 13hrs of rock climbing in a 23 pitches multi pitch, up the Time Wave Buttress in northern Mexico. Spent about 17 hrs in the wall ;D
