Hey there,

I'm a 25ish Austrian currently living in London and working as a strategy consultant in international development. Whenever I'm not busy studying I really love hiking, travelling and getting to know other countries through the eyes of the people that live in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've so far lived in quite a few different countries and I'm convinced that you don't know a country unless you get to know the people living there. Couchsurfing is such a great way to meet really interesting people and get to see the place where you are staying through their eyes. I love that.

Interests

I love the outdoors. I'm passionate about hiking, climbing, snowboarding, enjoy nature and wildlife, as well as running, swimming and biking. I'm also quite conscious about my health and go to the gym quite a bit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like classics, both in movies and books. Massive Tolkien fan. Some other favourites are Orwell's Animal Farm, Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby and Dostoyevski's Brothers Karamazov.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

10 day vacation to Cape Town and staying with a host family there. It was really amazing. Cape Town is the most beautiful city I have ever seen, especially the Table Mountain and Cape Point are stunningly beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just love open debate as I think that they are the bedrock to any healthy society. I will happily chat about any topic with you, and I'm excited to explore different views and perhaps change my mind on something.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I reckon I'm too humble to think I have amazing skills or philosophies to share, but I like to think of myself as a good listener and fun guy to chat to, so maybe we can just have a nice conversation? :-)
