Hi I'm Vanessa,
I'm proud to be born in southern Austria and very happy to be living the dream of a Nomad with my boyfriend Justin https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/justin-philips and constantly moving to different culture and learn the differences in life! I'm a very passionate person and love to cook, forage and do all kind of sport what can almost kill you!
I love to explore new countries and see different cultures and food. I like challenging myself towards my job or sport, people call me very spontaneous and creative! I love to be outdoors and enjoying the beautiful landscapes around me, whether it be bouldering, hiking, going to the beach, mountain biking, camping, snowboarding, or just going on an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the Couchsurfing idea! My Couchsurfing experiences so far have only been extremely positive and amazing! Good people helping good people out and getting to make new friends across the world and experience new cultures you may never have had the chance to.

Interests

Well, cooking has always been my number one passion/interest, I started to travel and live and work in different countries when i finished my culinary degree, I just was inspired with all the food out there, so I made my way across the world and I'm not even close to be finish.
My second passion is bouldering one of my favorite sport, It is bringing you to your limit and beyond.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music..... oh man it is easy said that I like everything but that's a lie! mostly I'm listening to drum and bass , but there are also some times where I just turn on death metal and growl and head bang like nobody's business! Sometimes i love the sound of Italian or Spanish singing as well as just guitar playing music too

Books!.... well I'm not quite into this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could now say it was amazing to:
bungee jump, tandem, learning English, working with old people, .....

but....

My most amazing thing I've done was to listen to my heart when I was 12 years old, I've dreamed about going to New Zealand not really knowing where that was but I could not stop thinking about it. 7 years later my dream came true and I met the love of my life! I was so cheesy literally you can call it love of the first sign, and this is only because I was listening to my heart!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach cooking different cultures, languages and happiness.
listen to your heart and follow your path, come whatever may.
be open for new challenges and opinions people can give you.
