ABOUT ME

I married my wonderful wife Patricia in September 2010, we are 24 years old and both studying in Vienna, Austria. Patricia studied German and I am studying Chemical Engineering.

We have both one passion, traveling around the world and meeting interesting new people. For us it is important to get to know other cultures and guys from all over the world and so we find Couchsurfing the ideal instrument for this.

In July 2011 we started our North America trip. We were attending a Student Work Abroad Program in Canada and were living and working in Toronto. We have already met so many great guys from all over the world and would like to get to know much more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are intermediate Couchsurfers and are looking forward to writing you soon our experiences......we already had a few experiences...we tell you about...The first Couchsurfing experience we got in Philadelphia at Prisca and her family. We arrived at 2 o'clock in the morning and they welcomed us very friendly. We had a great time there, got to know them and their culture better and also explained them things about our culture. Prisca showed us around and told us where to go and what to do. All in all, a great start in Couchsurfing.The second Couchsurfing experience we made was in Burlington, VT with Brooke. We only stayed there one night, but tried to exchange as much as possible.The third Couchsurfing was in Montreal with Camille and her roommates. As you can see from the pictures, we had lots of fun ;-)The fourth Couchsurfing experience we made was in Ottawa with Alicia and Derek. They welcomed us hungry guys with a great pasta dinner and we enjoyed staying with them in their high-tech home.All in all - Couchsurfing is the best thing we've ever tried, you can learn so much about other people and cultures. Things you would never get to know in a Hostel or Hotel.
