I was born in Switzerland and spent the first 30 years of my life there. Then I decided to move back to Austria, where my father is originally from. Why? I don't know why. I did want to start completely over and Austria is near, I have relatives here and they speak (more or less) the same language.

I always loved travelling. Since I was a little child. And since I'm earning my own money I try to travel as much as I can. Sometimes in groups, sometimes with friends and also sometimes on my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always look forward to meet persons that really live in the country where I travel to. They know the really good places and this is how you really learn to know a country and its culture. Therefore, I am on Couchsurfing to meet the local people.

BOOKS
Almost everything. The main thing is: I do not want to think to much. So it must be simple. Something about romance and love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding when I was 13 years old.

The Inka-Trail. It was a great time with a great hiking group. A lot of time to talk and also some alone time to think about life and work. I was very short to a burn out before I went to the Inka-Trail. In fact I would have burned out for sure if I would have cancelled it (like I did want to - my boss made me go) and the Inka-Trail experience really made to recover completely from this "almost-burn-out".

Teach, Learn, Share

If you visit me I will drive you to the southern part of Styria where we will visit a traditional kind of restaurant. Called "Buschenschank" and drink some white wine. This is, what the Austrians do on a sunny and nice day on the weekend.
