Hello, I'm 28 years old and live in Vorarlberg, which is a small city with nearly 50,000 people in the western part of Austria. The area here is surrounded by mountains; it's my adopted home, so I love going hiking and biking in the mountains.

To my luck, I spent half my life growing up on an ecological farm and experienced the life of small-scale farming at home. At the beginning of my (officially) work life, I pursued an apprenticeship as a metalworker. However, working with pure metal was not the right fit for me, so I decided to incorporate something more social and started training to become a social worker. My dream is to transform the farm back home into a social one, providing marginalized people with a place to live and work, promoting inclusivity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing for the adventure, opting for the path that isn't necessarily the easiest, in order to get the most out of it instead.

Interests

Beside my work as a social worker, I enjoy going to the mountains, either by bike or on foot. In winter, I spend a lot of time on my snowboard or splitboarding.

For the past year, I've been a student again, which unfortunately leaves me with less time for the mountains.

My favorite way to spend vacations is on the bike with my partner, Anna. Together, we have already experienced many adventures and are looking forward to the next one.
