First of all: my name is Kerstin > not Kerstinvienna :D, dont know why I took this name a while ago

ABOUT ME

Well what would other people say about me?
My friends often describe me as shy and quite. That might be true but in fact I'm just a person who doesn't like to make noise and to be loud :)

I love travelling. That's one of my main interests! Have been to Thailand, Cambodia and China. It's great explore a foreign city and to discover new things! Being an average tourist doesn't satisfy me anymore. I'm getting up early and coming home late! There's enough time to rest at home!

I'm not partying that much, even hardly ever. Clubs are too noisy and I'm getting a headache very easily. I prefer hanging around with friends, chatting and simply having a good time!

I also like airplanes, airports and photography. my digital camera is always in my pocket! When I'm travelling I'm stopping quiet often to take as many pictures as possible! I have to admit, the vast majority of the pictures are not good :D, but there are some great snapshots I took during my trips!

My trips as described as "planned spontaneity". That's even one of the reasons why I'm participating in CS to trust my host, relax and to be shown around!

Since last year I'm back to college (business administration) to finish what was started once and I'm trying to learn Chinese! That's a very long-term project and very difficult for me!

Last but not least:I'm taller than the average, even in Europe ... people can't miss me, especially in Asia! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Some people see things as they are and say why.
I dream things that never were and say why not?"

I want to visit so many places, meet new people and well just want to have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I cant offer a couch or bed or another opportunity to rest but I can show you Vienna, the sights, some nice places, go for coffee, beer and wine!

I want to give other CS the opportunity to see things they wouldn't have seen because its not written in a map.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

trying to be a good guide in Vienna and a good guest abroad!

Meet some very nice people and showed them some sigths. Being a guide also gives me the opportunity of seeing my hometown diffrently! Buidlings I usually dont look at are becoming new for me too!

Music: depends on my mood. Sitting in the subway listening to Mozart delights me just as roaring to Marilyn Manson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had amazing moments everywhere and it was fun!
I was skydiving in Dubai, watching the sunset in the Rub Al Khali with no other people around me, vistiting Chernobyl but one of the best things that happened in China: a bus full of schoolkids passed and they all waved to me!

climbing the great wall!

Being on the tallest buidlings of the world!
