Hi there! :)

I'm Maria from Austria. I am a social worker and love exchanging with people from all over the world. So feel free to message me any time :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the idea of travelling and connecting with people from all over the world, get to know them, their culture, language, hobbies,... Since travelling is pretty expensive, couchsurfing can be a cheap and very special way to discover the world, live with local people and thus discover a new culture.

Interests

Well, as I've already mentioned before, I do really love travelling and making new friends.
I love reading books, drawing, going to the theater, meeting friends and horseback riding.
Moreover, I like to spend my time with my two dogs Amy, the calm, lazy labrador, and Sam, our crazy, cheeky border collie, taking them for a walk, just playing with them or trying out various dog sports and trainings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a lovely appartment together with my boyfriend. You can easily arrive by public transport within 15-20 minutes starting from the main train station.
We are more than happy to share our home with you (including a comfortable sofa or your "own" room if you have a sleeping bag/mattress with you), get to know you, share unique experiences, thoughts, cook or just spend some time together and hang around.

Please mind that we have two dogs! In case you were allergic or too scared, I am afraid we wouldn't we able to host you. Thus please tell me in your request if you are ok with dogs if you'd like to stay with us.
