About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us"
ABOUT ME
I was lucky to have had the possibility to visit a school which changed myself and my life. It was not just learning things like languages, mathematics or arts, but also playing theatre, doing social and manual stages, getting support to develop myself, undertaking many journeys(most of the time in Austria, but England, France, Italy and Africa, too).
During these years, I learned and experienced more than ever before - I had the chance to see places I've never seen before, to get to know new mentalities of people, of countries.
I would discribe myself as well-minded and positive-thinking, I love to laugh, having fun, being crazy, I am creative and frank with people.
PHILOSOPHY
The most difficult is what makes us stronger, always.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I surfed a lot in South America and I also received some people in Austria. I know exactly how you wish to feel like when you come to a strange house and what you might need because I was in this situation myself. So I want to try to make people feel comfortable as much as possible when they surf at my place!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
As I have been in South America for five months, I did a lot of CS and experienced different situations, saw many cultures and ways to live and I loved it! It is one of the best possibilities to travel, you get to know so many people which you maybe stay in contact with forever.
Interests
hang around and meet with people and friends, nature, reading, music, films, walking, reaxing, arts, dancing, cooking, singing, herbage.
I love to travel, did it a lot during those last years in my school and that is the reason why I want to continue. Travelling is for me one of the best, most important and most interesting things you can do in your life. You never know what comes next. That is what fascinates me and what I love.
