I grew up in a very small town in Western Austria, close to Switzerland. Mountains have been my home - in winter as well as in summer - and still are my comfort zone. After finishing school I moved across the country to Vienna to study Media & Journalism Science and English & American Studies, now I am studying my Master's programe Communication Science.

I live by the motto life is adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, and especially people who can tell me something about their homecountry you won't find in any museum. Interactions with locals are what really shows the nature of a place - and that's what I am most interested in (:

Interests

I play the saxophone since I am seven and enjoy every kind of music and concerts - from classical to heavy metal. Right now I am very much into modern viennese music - Wanda, Bilderbuch, Steaming Satelites, just to name a few.
I am also very sportive, enjoy hiking and skiing very much. So much actually, that I decided to become a ski teacher in Austria, so if you by any chance drop by in Vorarlberg in the winter, feel free to contact me, I´ll try to make some time for you or I also could give you some information on where to go (;
