My name's Tanja and I currently live in Vienna, Austria for my masters degree in architecture. I would describe myself as a mellow, funny and outgoing person (wow, how original). I think I'm really easy to get along, but i must admit I'm a really chaotic person. But don't worry, just at my home, i take care of other peoples things. And I'm extremely lazy, especially in Winter. But when it comes to traveling I become the most alert person ever.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think it can find the right words to write something about it here in this little box. But I'll tell you something about it over a cold beer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to spend my time traveling and meeting locals, chatting over a beer or some food.
I mainly participate in surfing, but I can also host people at my flat in Innsbruck if I'm not to busy or traveling myself.

I've been couchsurfing for my first time in 2013 with two of my best friends. We went to Amsterdam and stayed 4 nights at the lovely home of George. It was awesome, so I'm looking forward to go couchsurfing in my next vacation. 2014 we went on a month long trip trough Scandinavia and surfed in Hamburg, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Oslo and Bergen. The last time I surfed in Milano, Italy in 2015. I've been to India, the US, Canada and the Uk and met many people over couch surfing for a beer or two.

Interests

My interest include traveling and all those stereotypes like meeting friends and so on. But my biggest interest is food. I really love food! I'm also into music and arts, especially architecture (that's my subject in University). I like going to festivals, drinking a beer with my best friends at the lake next to my house and making a fool of myself.
