Hi,

I'm Milena, I'm Austrian/Brazilian, from Vienna. I sit somewhere between the extremes of the introvert/extrovert spectrum.

Vegan, interested in philosophy, food (sharing; cooking), how to live an intentional/mindful/healthy/sustainable life, languages, politics, literature, psychology; you, your life, your life experiences, ideas, and stories :) I like to write, journal, meditate, and have conversations.

House rules:

For my safety, I host only women, vaccinated/ negative PCR test. 2 nights max. This is a vegan household, please don't request a stay if you wish to bring meat/milk/eggs into my home. No availability till February 2022. Please read the corresponding section for more information about my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet interesting and friendly people all over the world and to learn more about other cultures and countries. As a guest, I am interested in learning about the place that I am visiting and my host; as a host, I like to share my love for my beautiful hometown Vienna through hospitality!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think for that it's best to check references by people who have previously hosted me :) I can say that I'm a very calm person and it's important to me to be a respectful, tidy guest. I come with lots of curiosity about the host and their country!
