In short words... Michael, Mike or Mitch. I'm 31 years young and live in a small town in austria, very near to "Graz".

My hobbies are hiking, swimming, running, biking (tri sports) and motorcycling.

I am a very sociable person and appreciate hospitality, friendliness and cleanliness.

I love to travel arround the world and to meet new people, that have also a free spirit and open for good talks. Love to learn and try new cooking styles and meals.... maybe because i love to eat😂

In 2020 and 2021, i had big plans and everything booked for my long awaited traveling tour arround the world 🌍 (sabbatical year) but then....sadley the Corona Virus came and crashed my plans! 🤦🏻‍♂️
and i lost a lot amount of money🙈

-------------------------------------------‐--------------------
From february 2022 until november 2022 i have now succesfully completed my world traveling tour, which includes 19 countries on 5 continents!

Only world traveling tour trip was:

United Kingdom, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Ireland, Poland, Italy, Greece, U.A.E, Jordan, Oman, Israel, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Chile, Azerbaijan.
If you are ever motivated to do the same or similar, i can only say "gor for it, or you will never do and regret it!"😎
I met so many persons while traveling, which are now close friends.
One of the best experiences i ever done in my hole life🌍

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kitesurfing: looks easy but when you're on the board you have to control 2 elements, water and wind... kinda tricky=)

Camino de Santiago:
most famous pilgrims way in europe. I started alone at Porto (Portugal), but every day i meet new guys and girls from all over the world.
Everybody have a diverent reason , why she/he made this way... some lost a family member, some their job, some just want to break out of their normally life for a few weeks.
It is so intresting to get to know, why the other people make this long distance pilgrimsway.
And so, everyday new people join into our group and didn't leave us.
I started alone, after a few days we are hiking with a group of 13 people every day, and finish it as a little bit of a family at Santiago de Compostela (Spain).

One of the best things i ever made in my hole life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Live (your) live! Not that one, others expect from you😉

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can say of myself that I am a nice, young and very well-groomed man.

I have been traveling the world on for several years now and got to know a wide variety of cultures and people.

I love talking to local people and getting to know their way of living.

Honesty and trust is important for me.
