Thank you guys so much for all your nice messages! We're really lucky to experience so much of hospitality and friendliness... please forgive us if we eventually couldn't answer all at once, but we're trying our best to do so.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small village on the countryside of carinthia in the very south of Austria. After university I moved to Vienna where I lived 3,5 years and worked for different print and online magazines (mostly food, lifestyle, fashion topics). In 2022 I moved to Graz. My boyfriend Thomas and I are planning our little world trip from november 2023 on to April 2024.

We´re really excited to be this priviledged to see some of the most interesting places this world has to offer. To dive into new cultures, try food (I´m a real foodie, so this is really a big thing for me) and meeting interesting people who have stories to tell is definitely the reason why we´d like to go abroad.

Maybe nice to mention, since we´ll travel together: Thomas, my boyfriend (32), currently works as a project manager in a marketing agency. In his free time he either loves to do sports, dances lindy hop or he enjoys riding his vintage motorbike that he has rebuild.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe those who are seeking the truth, doubt those who find it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not only to save money but also staying with locals who can tell you much more about a city or a country than any travel guide.

But also if anyone wants to visit my town, I´d give my best to show him or her around or at least give some advices.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The idea of couchsurfing is just so great! Connecting people with common interest to travel. I love hearing stories from travelers and locals, spending some nice time together.

Interests

I´m really into food - means I love to cook and bake and explore new restaurants and dishes. I did a lot of foodstyling stuff back when I used to live in Vienna. So if we meet, I bet there´s a lot to talk about this special topic... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job to travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

We could teach you how to cook typical austrian food and dance waltz or lindy hop. Of course there are quite some interesting words and phrases to have to know when you´d like to visit Austria.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It would be great to get to know the country like locals do. Of course I´d do the same for those who´d like to know more about my country and the language (german).
