About Me

CURRENT MISSION

experience life off the beaten tourist track

ABOUT ME

i couch-surfed for the first time in the ukraine and since then i have realised that this is the best form of travelling.

i'm 24 and i'm half english, half austrian (english mother, austrian father, i have one sister). i grew up in graz, austria, and i went to university in glasgow, scotland. after university i spent several project-based months in latin america and now i live and work in vienna.

i enjoy travelling and getting to know local people in order to get a more authentic feel of the place and seeing how different people live. i like visiting less explored places and at least trying to learn and speak the local language at a basic level.

i'm very interested in photography, espcially nature photography and i have been taking pictures for several years.

i like being in nature but also in cities. i'm interested in languages and people, different cultures and wildlife.

i like doing sport (table tennis, badminton, football, snooker, etc...)

i'm an optimist

i need chocolate
