About Me

CURRENT MISSION

staying human - hard enough a mission for now

ABOUT ME

just turned 30 - nice flat, wonderful girlfriend, adequate job. so appart from being bored to death with my existence i'm living the dream ;).

no - for real:

come and meet up, we are a friendly and open-hearted couple that likes to meet new people and share old and make new experiences.

about travelling as such:
on one of my last trips i decided that walking around cities, taking pictures was rather frusting to me - so i stopped doing that. travelling is all about what you do and wohme you do it with much more than where you are and that you have a million fotos to prove it.

PHILOSOPHY

at least try to drop your mask every now and then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We surf and we host - appart from that we don't really participate in the "community".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed discovering cities and areas with locals who know the vibrant or quiet areas of there cities are. The only way to take in the real feeling of a place. Beside that, also taking, giving and exchanging ideas of all kind with my hosts and surfers.

As I lived on the country I didn't get to host very often - which is a shame. But I had a really great experience hosting an international hiking-group with 12-people. Awsome guys! Getting in contact with couchsurfers offers me amazing possibillities to travel with them in awsome ways. ;-)

Now I moved to the city of Vienna and hope to engage more in hosting and surfing again.
