Hey there :)

I'm Rosie, 18 at the time and finishing high school. I've been living in Graz, Austria, for about 3 years by now. My hometown, Tirana (AL) didn't offer as much as I am looking for from life, so the chance to move some place else was the luckiest opportunity that knocked on my door, at least til now. Even though it's a chaotic city, I still miss Tirana.

I play basketball with the local team in Graz and frankly enjoy a teamsport that teaches you a lot about life as well. Other than that, it's a good way to stay healthy and happy :)
I pretty much like every other sport as well, especially volleyball and tennis. Running is not really my thing, but I'm trying to work on it.

Apart from sports, I also enjoy reading a lot. Lately it's been more schoolbooks than anything, although I still did find the time to relax wih my cup of coffee and currently The Age of Reason from Sartre. I do am romantic at times.

Going out dancing or enjoying a drink with friends are also activities which I do quite often lately. I have a lot to say, so talking is one of my favourite things to do as well. But don't worry, I know when it's time to enjoy the silence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, especially when they come from a different culture, since I like to explore the world from different points of view.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll just write my favorite authors, cause I pretty much like everything I've read from them:

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Nagib Machfus, Ismail Kadare, Erich Fried, Heinrich Böll, Jean Paul Sartre, Victor Hugo, Wolf Haas, Kurt Tucholsky, Franz Kafka, Agatha Christie, Paolo Coehlo, etc.

As you see, I like reading novels but also poems.
