About Me

I work from my laptop so I can work from anywhere. I am making the most of it and travelling whenever I feel like it.

I work as a freelance translator. I studied translation and interpreting in Graz, Austria. I love outdoor activities, acro-yoga, sailing and climbing. I love music, I sing and play some instruments.

CURRENT MISSION

I have the perfect job for going where the wind takes me, I hope I keep the courage to always go with the flow. :)
Doing my sailing licence!

ABOUT ME

My mum is from England and my dad is from Austria so i grew up bilingually and have traveled a lot around Europe, the Americas and a teeny bit of Africa. I have two sisters and one brother. I love the area i grew up in but always have an urge to travel.

I love music! I play the guitar and sing. I am an uncomplicated, cheery and a little bit crazy person.

I am addicted to acro-yoga and I like climbing/walking mountains, sailing and going snowboarding! :D
I love meeting new people and am most definitely a bit of a Gypsy! :D

PHILOSOPHY

i live every day as it is and am very spontaneous and love the little happy moments in life.

I believe that you have to just get out there and grab every opportunity you can get. Do good things, coz it makes you happy. Never regret. Live life to it's fullest...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted both at my parents house and at my own appartement in Graz. I have surfed all over the Americas and a little bit in Europe.

I love showing people around and being a tourguide.
I can whip up a few Austrian specialities on request! ;)
Will entertain on my guitar to if you wish! :P

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed nearly all the time on my trip in the americas! GREAT!
All the hosts were amazing, lovely People and I really can`t think of a better way to travel!

I love hosting too and had my couch up in GRAZ. :)
At the moment I am a bit of a vagabundo, so I don't have a place where I can host.
