I live in New York City now 🗽

Short version:
- Austrian girl that lives anywhere but in Austria (currently in NYC)
- student of Cultural Studies
- I'm very sarcastic
- bubbly - sometimes too bubbly :D
- Interests we might have in common: Salsa/ Bachata dancing, arts, history, politics, feminism, books and yoga
- Interests we definitely have in common: travelling, languages, Couchsurfing

Long version starting here (good luck with that) :

I'd call myself pretty spontaneous. I don't like planning, and I'm always up for new adventures!
My greatest passion is dance. I love Salsa and Bachata - I am training to become a professional dancer. You’ll probably see me dancing everywhere, from the kitchen to the supermarket aisle 😄

I generally love arts. My happy place are museums, opera houses and galleries. It basically is my way of meditating.
I also love reading, especially about feminism, history or politics, so if you have book recommendations bring 'em on!

.
Also, you should know that I'm pretty sarcastic (and I'm still amazed by how many people don't get it)
Just don't take everything I'm saying seriously, and we'll get along, promise :-)

I love getting lost in a city, going to places with more than just tourists and selfie sticks (no offence if you have one, I'm sure your Instagram feed is great)

I think you can learn something from every single person you meet in life - so I like listening to people and their stories (when I'm not busy with sharing mine ['cause apparently I talk a lot])

.

One VERY IMPORTANT thing for me, whether you'll host me or I'll be hosting you, is 100% honesty.
As much as I'm trying, I haven't figured out how to read minds yet, and until I do so, open communication is the key.

for surfers:

If you're looking for a "secret password" you can stop here, 'cause I don't do them.

Feel free to copy and paste your request, tell me about your favourite animal or the last meal you had - go crazy
No reason to desperately look for something we have in common :D

Free hotel or new friend, I'm up for anything.
I can't promise to always be the perfect host/ tour guide/ entertainer, but I see what I can do :-)
Just one little thing: please don't send me requests more than 1 week in advance seriously, I don't even know what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Take it easy, life is the best when nothing is planned.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Don't get why people should pay for sleeping.

Interests

• culture
• books
• bachata
• feminism
• salsa

Music, Movies, and Books

Latin music, Reggaeton, Indie Pop. Tbh anything that makes me happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could say, that I travelled through Latin America for 10 months, but I also once opened a wine bottle with a shoe. Not sure which one is more impressive.

Teach, Learn, Share

Loads of wisdom about my country
- Austria, not Australia (nope, no kangoroos)
- We speak German (no Austrian is not a language)
- No, I'm not from Vienna (yes, there are other cities in my country)
- No, we don't have beaches (still not Australia)
- No, Germany is not the same thing
- No, I can't yodle

In case you knew all these things - amazing, you're officially the minority.

If you didn't, don't worry, I once asked a Brazilian guy if he could teach me some Spanish. Shit Happens.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Loads of happiness and positive Energy. Laughter, smiles, and the spontaneous deep talks at midnight.
