ABOUT ME

I´m a 30 year old, free thinking, funny and easygoing austrian girl who was working as an occupational therapist in a hospital in vienna for more than two years. I like my job and i know why it is meaningful to me but right now i am looking forward to some changes and there have been a lot already.

Three years ago i started traveling more. I had an awesome year travelling from NZ to OZ to southasian countries and Japan. With this travel, i could experience so many different cultures, believes, mindsets and it opened me up for the world even more. New ways of thinking came with it and with my break from daily tasks i could feel my energy coming back again and gaining more creativity back as well.

I always wondered if travel really can change people so much. From the outside it may just a little with me but from the way of thinking, looking at the world, on cultures, situations it did a lot to me!

I´m always looking forward for a nice experience and for a funny time. Just keep on moving and learning, accepting life as it is and comes: nothing stayes the same ever, so do what you like with passion and love and you gonna enjoy all of it!

I´m openminded and very interestet in a lot of things. The only problem is that there is not enough time to follow all these interests...maybe you know this kind of "problem". So for me it was (and still is) also a task to get some time to calm down, be in the moment and reflect what is really improtant in life.
I love to get in contact with people, having inspiring talks, sharing ideas,love, thoughts and passion. There was already so much good input from social interaction in my life (from positive and negative situations) and i am grateful for all of them.
As i mentioned i really like being active. I love outdoor activities, the more adventurous the better ;) From hiking, cycling, skating, swimming, flying, driving, riding, surviving, climbing,dancing ...there is less i don't wanna do at all xD
I enjoy spending time in nature which kind of charges my batteries from the overall active lifestyle.
I found my passion in photography and filming, try to get started with video cutting and moviemaking and improving my skills in this field which i guess as far as i can see will be as well a process for the "lifelong learning" term. I love to be creative and try to do as much as i can be myself - like DIY stuff (Building my own highbed was the latest big project), sewing things and recycling (with cleaning nature on hikes) is also a big one!
All of this goes well with my passion for travel where i actually can combine a lot of this pleasures in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience started in 2012 with a friend of mine when we worked for a practical fieldwork for 3 months in Netherlands . The last two weeks of our stay we traveled round the country where we made some couch surfing air bob and hostel experiences...and we had a really good time!

So it all started from the idea from my friend and i have to say i felt a little skeptical about sleeping in someones private place. For me my home is a very special place and letting a person in, opening the doors means actually a lot. I can understand this better now, the older i got.
So Couchsurfing for me as i experienced it and as i want to experience it is about meeting people, exchanging thoughts, experiences, socialise, learning and seeing new stuff together, spend time with each other as we all live together on this big planet as human beings.

I was able to meet honest, nice, openminded, exciting and lovely people trough CS, some of this experiences made an impression for life, so i would love to go on with this kind of experience.

Interests

The list of interests in my life is long.
At the moment i am very passionated about dancing, travelling, photography and film making.
I started with photography some time ago and still need to learn a lot. Filming and video making got more attention through out my travel time where i could see more of the worlds beauty and tried to capture at least a bit from the world and how i perceived it. The fascinating thing about photos and videos are for me the own story behind it, the perspective from the person who made it and how they perceive the world, nature, a situation...
Action, outdoor activities and sports are the energetic interests in my life. I love nature and being outdoor and almost all related activities to that. Try to find thing i don't like to do...surprise me if you can ;)
The only issue for me is my physical situation. After lots of extrem sports i had already an operation and my knee and lower back sometimes having there issues.
So i turned down a little from doing parkour and freestyle moves and lots of running and jumping activities to activities i will be able to do hopefully as well when i am old ;) (climbing, hiking, cycling, dancing..should be all fine).
An other big passion in my life since a while is dancing and all related movements like partner acrobatics, other acrobatic elements, hula hooping and so on.

I love to see the world from different perspectives so i especially love to experience places not a lot of people get to see....sometimes climbing a house, a tree, crawling under or into things or just changing the angle of your head can open way new perspectives in life - so i will follow my inner lead to do so.

Besides sporty activities i am interested in a healthy lifestyle in general which is as well still a big learning field for me. Starting from healthy food, activities and healthy mindset i am happy for more input here as well :)
As well i love good food and love to cook myself, experiment with unknown foods and creating new recipes as well as enjoying the traditional vegetarian kitchen i already know.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a fan of books from Lousie L.Hay and related topic books.

Music i am listening to depends of course on my mood but ranches from hiphop to dub and latin music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling for a year by myself (as far as you are when meeting people all the time) was always one of my big dreams -> now it got me !!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to exchange experiences!
I am very interested in sharing/teaching/learning about culture, way of thinking, peoples experiences in life, sports and all kinds of movement, creative stuff, photography...all the stuff i like.
Everyone has his own experiences, his own lifestyle, his own way of thinking and managing life - so sharing this is special and may open your mind and way of thinking.
Getting in contact and sharing concepts, thoughts and experience is one of the most important ways to get to know each other and it offers the possibility to reflect on yourself, on the way of your lifestyle, can give you some new input or more ideas to get to your own best idea of living.
I would love to share what i could gather from my life experience: i can teach a lot of movement related activities like some dances, acrobatics, hula hoops, massage techniques, my understanding of healthy lifestyle (for yourself and the environment)...
There is so much i could and want to learn in my further life so i am very open and happy for almost every input i get!
Everything is constantly moving/changing, nothing stays the same, so we can learn, teach and share throughout our hole lives!
