CURRENT MISSION being happy :) ABOUT ME My name is Isi, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Austria. Since I was a little child I always wanted to "explore" the world, get to know other places, cultures and languages. And I still want to. :) My longest experience in a different country so far was in 2010/11, when I studied in Russia for almost a year. (Well, most of the time I wasn't just "studying" there, actually. At least not at university.:))For me, it was one of the most exciting and impressing experiences of my life. I was really lucky to get a deep inside into the "Russian soul" living together with Russian students. I still love to go back to "my" Nizhny Novgorod, meeting my friends there, going back to the places I've had so much fun. For me that's the way I want to explore a country - by being in touch with the "real life" there. That's why I love the idea of couchsurfing so much. Apart from travelling I love spending time with my friends, going out, having a good time. I'm a funny, spontaneous person. I think I always try to give my best and be there for someone who needs my help, especially for my friends. I really like to laugh, but you can have serious conversations with me, too. Sometimes I can be a little sarcastic and chaotic. But just sometimes. :) Well...I guess that's everything so far, for further information we need to meet in "real life".:) PHILOSOPHY Never give up. Everything happens for a reason. You just have to figure out for what reason. Live and learn. Cry and then laugh again.
