About Me

ABOUT ME

I live alternately in Vienna and in south-east-styria. I like to travel to other cities to get to know different cultures. Haven't seen that much of the world yet but I try to catch up. Here CS offers a great opportunity to me.
Mostly I'm a quite quiet person, but it depends on the situation.

Love to do sports, like Taekwondo, cats, horses, cinema, music, read, an open and wide landscape, trees, climbing on trees, water, swimming in the water and to get to know new interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed 3 times in the united states in San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Las Vegas and once in Santiago de Chile. Then one time with my boyfriend in Slovenia, Ljubljana. And once with my boyfriend and my friend Mercedes in Berlin. Each was a great experience. I would do it any time again.
We hosted until now one Viennese girl and a girl from Tirol with here family at our place in Styria, they all were very nice.

I've seen the Pyramids in Cairo, they are really cool, and being at Malta and the Camargue (south France) as a youth I enjoyed a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a little bit about the stars, that means astrophysical stuff. Or if you like to learn a little German, I can help you as well.
