I'm a 21-year-old austrian student living in Vienna who enjoys traveling and would like to meet new people on my way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing makes exploring a city/country way more accessible especially for students who are keen on meeting new and getting to know a country from a different perspective.

Interests

In my opinion it's hard to type up your interests. If I put down every thing I enjoy doing, I would spend hours here putting words on this list.
But what I am able to say:
I like going out partying somewhere but I prefer a nice evening with friends, a couple of bottles of wine and a good game (eg. privacy, activity, cards against humanity...).

• dogs
• fine dining
• organic food
• board games
• traveling
• music
• camping
• surfing
• swimming
• sightseeing
• friends
• beach
• laughing
• horse riding
• exploring new places
• meeting new people
• poetry slam
• games
• campfires
• scouting
• strolling around

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is quite unspecific. I enjoy many different genres.
Right now I'm really into movie soundtracks (Black Hawk Down) , jazz, indie and techno and I‘m always down for Bonobo.
And I LOVE the work of Karl Jenkins! (I had the honour of performing ‘Palladio’ as part of a string orchestra which was such a magical experience)

My all time favorite movie is Inception (Its soundtrack too, I love it! Hans Zimmer is a genius)
I really like Rick and Morty and Black Mirror.

LOTR, the Hobbit, Perfume

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me every journey is unique and is amazing in it's own way, it's not about how risky something is or how much you have to pay for it. Getting to know new cultures, learning about a country's history, getting out of your comfort zone when you try something new (eg. food)... that's what makes traveling amazing.

What I really enjoyed recently:
Receiving a buddhist blessing in Angkor Wat.

Doing an amazing roadtrip around the South Island with Evan (a guy I know from CS)

I hope I can add lots more in the near future!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like talking about a lot of stuff. I guess I don't really have a special talent which I could teach...I am not that bad of a chef and I might be able to show you some chords on a guitar.

Having German as my mother tongue, I can teach you sone weird German words and sentences (“Eierlegende Eierlegende kam an ihr Eierlegende” for example)

As you might have read I'm trying to learn French and Spanish so if you know a little Spanish or French: any conversation in either of those language would be great. 😊

I enjoy sharing my experience with eg. traveling and many other topics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I guess I'm just a friendly person who might seem shy at first sight, but after a couple of minutes nearly everybody gets along with me quite well.
Although I hope you don't mind laughter because sometimes I can't keep it together and crack up laughing (only happens with good company though).
I also love conversations about anything (As we would say in Austria: I like adding my mustard^^
) :)
