ABOUT ME

love summer (and winter), dogs, good food and music, am open minded, easy- and out-going, from Austria, lived in New Zealand, Valdivia/Chile, enjoy travelling and also a friendly get-together - sometimes like the observation post, catch moments with a camera,
love it, to get to know people and their stories, love to cook and share food :)
And I'm keen to try new things (food, sports, ideas... :)

always happy to meet people and give recommendations aboout the area - but I am not such of a tourist guide, but happy to join people while exploring the places round here :) one thing I can really recommend: TRY TO GET LOST!!

btw: chocoholic without a chance of healing
