About Me

After spending the majority of my life in Austria I realized it is time to step out of my comfort zone. So I moved to the United States in 2021 to earn my masters degree and play soccer on a semi-professional level at Palm Beach Atlantic University. It was by far the best decision in my life so far. After 3 wonderful years in the US I realized it was time for the next adventure. So I decided to travel the world. My goal is to be at least in one country on each continent.

I played soccer my whole life and also several other sports. I love being outside and enjoying nature.

I like to socialize, going out, but also play games or watch a movie. I also like reading, planning trips and talk about life.
I love being with people cause I get inspired for various reasons by the people surrounding me.
I would say that I am rather the one who listens than the one talking on and on but depends on you really.

I also wanna mention that I like joking around, but also can laugh about myself. I am convinced we all have our inner child still deep inside of us and it is crucial to let it out sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very open minded, excited to meet new people and learn about their cultures. I love trying new food and learn about certain spices and ingredients. I am convinced it is way better to get in touch with locals to learn about a country and get the bigger picture, compared to do mainly the touristic stuff.

Also, to be honest my budget is not infinite and I am trying to save some money.
