I am first year college student at Bard College majoring in Film production. Originally I am from Vienna, Austria but I grew up all over the world. Since I was two years old I have lived and grown up in India, île de la Réunion, Thailand, France, Germany and Austria. My favorite thing in the world is traveling, meeting new people and discovering new cultures. I am fluent in french, german and english and would love to learn spanish more than anything in this world. I live for art, fashion and literature!!! Dostoevsky is my favorite writer, Portishead and Nina Simone my favorite musicians and Sonia Rykiel my favorite designer!! I would love for our paths to meet and to hear your life story!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people and places. I love smelling new odors of cities I do not yet know. I love sitting in cafés watching life go by past me. I find the idea of being welcomed into someones home so beautiful. I would love to get to know you and bring something enriching to your life just as much as you would to mine.
