CURRENT MISSION

Hi I'm Vanessa, a motorcycle addicted traveler who wants to explore the world on her Motorcycle. I'm always looking forward to meet new people on my adventures :)

I grew up in Switzerland 🇨🇭 but currently I'm studying and living in Tilburg (the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ) for my exchange semester. From November on I will be back in Austria 🇦🇹, studying at my home institution.
I would love to host even though i live in a tiny room of a shared appartement with two other people in the city Dornbirn (Austria) where I'm studying. Unfortunately I have no extra bed or couch but I can provide a camping mattress and good company🙈 Also I can show you around and take you to wonderful places with my motorcycle😊

LONG STORY SHORT…

I see myself as a free spirit with a creative mind and an open heart. In my free time, I combine my hobbies of film, photography and riding my motorbike. But motorcycling is much more than just a hobby for me - it is my attitude towards life, my passion!
I grew up in eastern Switzerland on the beautiful Lake of Constance and therefore I'm used to jumping into cold water🤘🏻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

That is quite simple! When you're on the road all day, social contacts gets left behind a bit... But I'd like to get to know you, if I'm already exploring your beautiful area. I would like to share adventures because happiness is only real when shared.
