About Me

Hey my name is Vincent,
I'm 25 years old and I am from Austria, a little country in the heart of Europe. Since I I have been a small child I've loved to travel all around the world. I was always interested in making new friends with everyone and I'm really curious how people live their daily lives all around the world.
Besides traveling I'm a student in Vienna ( Psychology) and in my free time I like to meet up with my friends, watch movies, do sport, just enjoy the nature or listen to interesting stories.
It would be a pleasure to listen to one of your stories one day too :D
Enjoy your life, yours Vincent

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I'm looking for like-minded people all around the world. Moreover, when I travel I don't like to stay in hotels, like tourists do, but spend time with locals as much as I can, cause they can give you bigger view on their culture and how they live their daily lives. And I think Couchsurfing is the best way to get know the culture and the people of a country.
And on the other hand I would also like to invite some people to my home in Vienna, so that I can show them my City and make new friends :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I founded an NGO with a friend of mine to teach mindfulness in schools in Austria. We went to schools and started to meditate with children in their classrooms without having a formal education in mindfulness practice. We just lived from our own experience while practising mindfulness. Looking back on that, sitting in a classroom, full with children, all sitting silently and listening to their breath, that was an amazing feat to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you:
German
Mindfulness Practise (Meditation)
How to cook the Austrian cuisine.

I want to learn whatever you can teach me :) I love to learn new languages and listen to foreign music.

I can share with you all the funny stories I experienced during traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A place to sleep, cooking together, maybe showing around the city.
