About Me

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, getting to know new people, learning new things, laughing, talking, partying (well, less these days..). I'm very active and enjoy keeping myself busy.

PHILOSOPHY

I am anything else than religious or spiritual but I do believe that what goes around comes around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting - surfing - meeting for a coffee

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a couple of people staying at my place(s) in Vienna, and I have surfed in the US, Kosovo, Macedonia, Switzerland and Italy. Also meeting CS people for a coffee is a great way of meeting new people, both in my own town and in new places. Couchsurfing is a fantastic way of getting to know people and i'm looking forward to experiencing more!
