Hey there!
I'm Michael, but people call me Michi. I come from a small village in North Western Austria, but at the moment I'm studying in Quito, Ecuador.

I studied Social and Cultural Anthropology in Vienna and have worked in an organisation for intercultural exchange for 3 years (and been involved as a volunteer for 7). Since October 2025 I'm studying a master's degree in International Relations / Peace and Conflict Studies.

I wouldn't be here if I wouldn't love travelling and intercultural exchange. I'm lucky to have travelled a lot and lived in four countries. With time I've understood that my favourite way to travel is visiting friends. And that if you go where you have no friends, there's couchsurfing.

I may spontaneously be out of town every now and then, but when I'm here feel free to reach out if you want to crash on my couch or just hang out with somebody.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I don't usually travel to see places anymore, I travel to see people. No matter if it's friends or strangers.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: I believe my algorithm is still confused by the strange mix of genres I listen to. Have you ever heard about Greek hip hop? Bavarian salsa?

Books: Currently reading Dostoevsky.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Leave my continent with 18 and live one year in a completely different culture, far from home. Climb a 5000 meters high mountain in Mexico.

教，学，和分享

I can teach my language, and get lost in emotionally explaining how I speak German but it's actually not really German but somehow yes but really no.

I love music, I play the violin and have been learning to play the guitar. Let's sing something! Or let's go to a Karaoke or to dance!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Stories, languages, photos (I can take you a nice photo if I'm traveling with my camera), Austrian cooking.
