Hi, I’m Alexandra, or Alex if you want to 😊 My biggest goal in life? To enjoy and experience life in every way possible. 🌈 I want to explore. Not only the world, nature and all it’s beautiful faces, but also myself and my surroundings. I yearn for gaining a deeper understanding of myself and all the people around me. Emotions and people dynamics fascinate me. ❤️

I’m a sucker for the outdoors. 🌄 Being indoors for too long almost got difficult for me over the past years.
I just love spending time in nature - either for the quiet and to center myself or for little adventures. 🧘‍♀️🏕️

If you want to know anything about me, just ask 😊 I’m an open book but I also know how to set my boundaries. Especially, I am a big fan of open and honest communication. 💫

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don’t see the sense in staying at closed up accommodations when meeting people, exploring cultures and meeting the unexpected is my goal of traveling. 🤔

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I chose to be myself. 💫 Not who I was conditioned to be, not who I am expected to be. Just myself. Or at least I’m trying everyday to get closer to that person.

Also something less cheesy... I just did my first 140m multi-pitch in rockclimbing 🧗

Teach, Learn, Share

Language exchange? My mother tounge is german but I'm also fluent in english and I speak a bit of french.
Currently I’m trying to learn spanish.

I love to hear others peoples stories and to share my own experiences.

I also enjoy learning about creative crafts such as drawing, wood crafting, making jewelry… whatever. I love to enhance my skillset in any creative way possible.

Aside from that I love to eat myself around the world… so learning about traditional recipes… count me in 🥰

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories…. experiences…. music… boundaries… peace and quiet… . But I’m also open to head out together, go climbing, hiking, surfing, being outdoors or just grab a coffee somewhere.

Basically I have very different sides but I am grateful for a couch to sleep on. So if my host wants to hang out… great… If he/she needs space and quiet… also great 😊

I’m also happy to cook vegan/vegetarian meals. (Just don’t expect typical Austrian dishes… I try to live healthy 😂)
