I'm living a minimalist lifestyle - trying to minimize waste and consumption. Currently, I'm working for a startup where we build an e-Learning platform for sign language. Besides, I study Data Science at university. Apart from that, I cruise a lot around Vienna on my longboard.

I´m Austrian, but lived in Berlin, Tokyo and Chiang Mai in the last years. I love spending time in cafés reading books. Also, I really like adventures, so I'm always down for exhausting hikes or camping in nature! Japan and Korea fascinate me a lot!

When I was younger I made some travel videos, you can watch them here: https://vimeo.com/user14662117

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing opened up a new world to me. The warmth of some people I met through cs was beyond my imagination. I made lots of good friends through cs. At every stay, I learned something new, which shifted my perspective a bit.
