About Me

I'm 32 years old. I used to be a daycare teacher for seven years while I was studying. In 2016/2017 I lived in Australia on a working holiday visa. I currently live in Vienna where I teach English to preschool and kindergarten children. I love to see different places and interact with people from different cultures.
Also I've been a vegan for 10 years and vegetarian for 18.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled quite a bit but sometimes I feel I don't get to fully experience the local culture and I think this could be a great way to do that as well as meet some cool and interesting people.

Interests

I love learning and trying new things. I've done two long distance hikes (500+ kms) and hope to do more some day. I also like to play soccer and do bouldering.
I've also tried skydiving, bungee jumping and scuba diving and want to try those activities again.
Mostly though I love to read and learn about just about anything. I always like to talk to people who are knowledgeable about things I am not.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 I walked and completed the Way of St. James/Camino de Santiago. It's an approximately 800 km walk from the southwest of France to Santiago de Compostela in the northwest of Spain.
I'd love to tell you more about it when we meet up, if you're interested! :)
