About Me

I'm in Salzburg atm but not hosting that much anymore. If you write me and I think we would hit it off I might reconsider though. (16.7.17)

This part of my profile is 2 years old:

I figured I should have something more about me in the 'about me section' so:
I'm a quite quirky 23year old girl, I study law but I like to think that I'm not the typical law student.
I like to think of myself as 'open minded' till I find myself confronted with my own prejudices that I then try to challenge.
I'm often frustrated with this world, but still I think that I'm a cheerful person.
Also I'm really uncomfortable describing myself cause I always feel like I'm either bragging or selling myself short, so you'll probably be better off reading my references.

I live in Vienna at the moment (and spend my summers back with my parents in Salzburg where I also host) and I really enjoy it here. I love the city with it`s coffee culture and it`s dialect down to it`s little quirks like the unfriendly waiters.
"Die Zeit" a german paper once featured an article claiming Vienna would be the greatest city on earth if not for it`s inhabitants.
However that is something I enjoy about it too.
I`m a very outgoing person and i`ll probably drag you around to great places i already found.

I love to walk and explore so i`ll be sure to be finding new interesting and amazing spaces and places constantly
I really, really like hosting people as for me it`s a little like instant traveling, for whenever i don`t have time or money to go abroad myself.

There`s lot`s of stuff I am interested in and passionate about but I`m also always happy to learn and listen so intrigue me with something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a lot of people and am now also starting to surf. I also enjoy that couchsurfing allows me to meet other travellers in different cities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some really cool, interesting and fun people via couchsurfing, had interesting talks and discovered places both in my home town and at the places I surfed that I probably wouldn´t have found otherwise.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music depends on if I´m going out or just chilling. When going out I like to listen to electronic music. mostly Techno but here and there i also enjoy some goa, happy hardcore or even house.
When staying in I'm a big fan of old 70s Songwriters.

I like to read political theory at the moment I'm reading Karl Kautsky's 'Foundations of Christianity'
Apart from that I'm also partial to some light fiction and fantasy.

I'm more into series than movies and have wasted many hours binge watching stuff like 'Orange is the new Black.'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a very spontanous person, this and couchsurfing is the reason i met some amazing people and had even greater experiences with them.
I hitchhiked to amsterdam, and met some really nice people on the way.
I couchsurfed in san francisco and was invited to a roofparty.
I found people all over the world to share passions and experiences, and i think this is by far the most amazing experience.
To know that in every place in the world, you´ll find people who will share a little bit of their way with you.
