About Me

I take every chance I get to travel or live somewhere new.

I'm 24, originally English, but grew up in Vienna. I've just taken a year off before I start my masters in Geography. I love looking at maps and planning trips and I absolutely HATE flying. It's amazing I keep getting back on planes.

I just got back from a few months in Latin America, where I was volunteering in Costa Rica and traveling south from Ecuador all the way to Brazil. I am already planning my next trip for this summer, interrailing (no planes involved, thank god) from Denmark down to Montenegro :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know places through the eyes of a local, share experiences with likeminded people and, of course, to save money!

Interests

Geography, relaxing in hammocks, trying something new, is it too predictable if I say traveling?

  • coffee
  • flying
  • traveling
  • skydiving
  • cartography
  • geography
  • volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Anything I can sing to :)

Movies: secret life of Walter Mitty, lord of the rings, Forrest gump, lock stock, back to the future, Austin powers, shrek and so many more. Also I'm a huge Friends fan

Books: anything by Khaled Hosseini, game of thrones, picture of Dorian gray, the hobbit

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many! I can't possibly choose one:
Skydiving in New Zealand at sunset.
Inca trail.
Salt flats in Bolivia.
Volunteered on a coffee farm and with sea turtles in Costa Rica.

Teach, Learn, Share
