Hey I’m Marlene, a doctor from Vienna, currently in between jobs for 2 months and will use this time to travel to South Africa and La Reunion. It's been a long time since I used couchsurfing but I have had amazing experiences 10 years ago (god I feel old haha). I will be in capetown for 2 weeks and am looking forward to meeting some people to go on hikes with or hang out at the beach or go to a bar.

What I love: being outdoor, hiking, road cycling or bike packing, eating good food, going out dancing, reading feminist literature, going to the cinema

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

My first couch surfing experience was 11 years ago, when my three friends and I surfed the Benelux. It was so much fun, that I decided to host the following summer, because my parents were on holidays. I got to know two really nice german brothers and a funny couple from Switzerland.
I see CS as an opportunity to get to know places from a different access, to see a city through the eyes of a person who is living there. And of course, get to know the person!
