Two years ago a quite serious relationship ended and initiated a complete change of my life. I started doing Bodyweight exercises and last year I walked the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela. After that the idea to travel the world, that I had had before, showed up again. It turned out to be the perfect time for me now to follow my longing and go and see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After walking the Camino Frances to Santiago last year, my whole life was going to change. As I somehow was not able to to feel "at home" in my home country Austria and was longing to see different places in the world, I decided to give it a go, quit my job and my flat, moved my stuff to my brother's and jumped on a train to the world. I believe that Couchsurfing is providing an unique possibility to experience countries in a way you are unable to get to know when only staying in Hostels or Hotels.

Interests

Being mostly vegan (I don't want to leave fish and seafood completely) and having learnt cook as a profession, I like to cook and experiment with vegan ingredients to discover new tasty dishes.

As I work out mostly 7 days a week I do really pay attention to myself and my nutrition.

The pilgrimage I did last year brought me to trekking, I was quite into hiking before, so it was just a small step.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: every Genre has it's pearls - really mood depending what I listen to

Books: it has to "catch me" - The Card's secret by Joostein Garder is one of my favorite books

Movies: everything except Horror and brutal films

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked the Camino Frances in Northern Spain in 2018 from Saint Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela and further to the end of the world Finisterra - on total ~ 900 km only per foot. This way made me translate a German book to English to but that's quite a lot to tell and I would love to tell you more about it 😁

Teach, Learn, Share

Every time you meet someone you can learn and teach something - I really try to be open to that and let it happen ☺️
