--- I AM NOT IN VIENNA OVER THE SUMMER!! Sorry guys - I hope you enjoy your visit and as soon as I am back, I am very happy to share my joy and love about living in this city with you! :-) Cheers, Melie -----

Hi there! I'm a 23 year old dog-loving, nature-seeking and food-cherishing woman living and loving the city of Vienna, Austria. I came here to study and am almost done with my business degree (yay!) and am about to enter the glorious phase of "What's next after uni?!" that I can't wait to dive into.

I have done couchsurfing a couple of times before with my beloved and dear friend Anna, whose profile (and references, where a "Melie, Mel, etc" is mentioned here and there by hosts) you can check out under: "Anna Hehenberger" :-)

What's more? My lovely boyfriend Andreas and I are about to start our summer travels and would love to enrich our memories with some couchsurfing experiences!
Some fun facts about us:
...we camped in the garden (yes, like excited small kids) this February at -10 degrees to try out our new tent
...we ran a half marathon together this year (where I almost died - not Andi, he is super fit!) and made it
...we cycled through tuscany last year at a point of time where all italians are on holiday (haha - it was so much fun nevertheless!)
... I bet I can eat more at dinner than Andi (he would certainly disagree here)!

And of course: we LOVE travelling! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I have done couchsurfing before with Anna in the US, Canada and Italy, I fell in love with it. The memories our amazing hosts gave us are absolutely unique and irreplaceable for us. For me, the most valuable travel insight is to see the places through the eyes of a local. It is a perspective you cannot get hold of in any other way of your travels, it will not only show you great places but really make you emotionally attached to them.
