About Me

CURRENT MISSION

convert people to Couchsurfing!

ABOUT ME

I graduated last summer with a degree in German & Italian. I love moving around, especially when I get to use my languages. I moved to Vienna in the autumn of '09 and am discovering more and more about the city. There's a lot more to know about me. I think (& hope) I'm a lot more interesting when you meet me in person!

PHILOSOPHY

Travel definitely does broaden the horizons- but its not just about seeing places, its about meeting people, trying to communicate etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share
