About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy life - because the one who's not enjoying gets unenjoyable!

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing and honest person who loves life, nature and her friends and family! I'm always in for new adventures and trying new things. I really like to eat and cook but I definitely prefer eating ;) My passions are travelling and being outdoors hiking, snowboarding, biking or just get lost while exploring unknown places as well as dancing through the night and headbang to 80ies Rock.
I believe in the sustainable circles of life and I'm trying to implement them in my own lifestyle as much as I can, this means that I try to live my life in harmony with nature and all its inhabitants.

PHILOSOPHY

--the secret of freedom is courage--

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing couches all over Europe, North America and Marroco definitely gave me new insights to life, how society works and how different people have different approaches to what a good life is. Every experience was rewarding and awesome in its way! Same goes for hosting, I also hosted some people in my old apartment in Graz and really enjoyed it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met interesting and funny people and had the opportunity to learn something new about different places, people and ways of living! It was interesting to experience both sides and to get and pass on feelings, things and advices.
During my studies I was part of an international geography student organisation and hosted and stayed at people from all over Europe.

Interests

Hiking, snowboarding, music, eating and cooking, discovering and exploring new places, my friends and family, sustainability, self-sufficient living, social justive, geography, Wilderness and environmental protection, and of course FUN FUN FUN

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

growing up in the middle of the Alps and discover nature as a part of growing up there!
snowboarding fresh powder just 5 minutes away from home! still the best thing in the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

even though I'm a geographer I'm really bad in capitals :P
but I'm really interested in the various natural and cultural processes that shape our environment as well as our society and I like to share my knowledge as well as get new insights and learn more about this topic
I enjoy cooking with people and exchange and create new recipes, I know some traditional austrian dishes like Kaiserschmarrn and would love to learn some new traditional recipes of the countries I visit and the people I meet
