Me and my wife live in a house near Graz. We love traveling, hiking and doing sports together.

PHILOSOPHY

Dare to be great

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling and hosting. We would love to learn to know people from all over the world and show them around in Graz and its surroundings. We are also active members of the local CS community in Graz where we attend meetings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We went to Norway and Couch Surfing was the only possibility for us as all youth hostels were closed during that time. But we learned to know so many nice people via Couch Surfing and had experiences far beyond anything you could possibly buy. So we would love to do it again and host people from all over the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
