A guy trying to combine urban living, (digital) minimalism, IT-related studies, and travelling. At the moment, I am a student in Austria where I moved in September 2023 at the age of 17. In between the studying days, I yoga, running, hitch- and just hiking, travelling in general, and bla bla bla. My mission is to try as many as possible hobbies before I graduate from my bachelor's since it's the best time to do so. I am also a beginner in coffee and matcha making.

In general, I do what I love and what doesn't harm our beautiful world ;) I am conscious about the environment, because our planet is too amazing, so we should not destroy it. This what drives me to urban studies and planning – the thing I'm curious professionally the most in my life. I want to focus on public transportation management and adaptation in the future to make our cities slightly better :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people as this became an inevitable part of my trip during the past years. Remember: not talking and having conversations with locals in a new country – meaning you are a tourist, not a traveller. THIS I don't like – nothing opens up a country for you more than communicating with people there. I love sharing joy with people, laughing together and sharing the most interesting conversations.

Interests

The loveliest thing in the world is hitchhiking and specifically meeting people. besides, I do yoga, learn about countries and their politics or culture. Also, cook and learn languages (just started Arabic and German). In winters I snowboard a lot ;-)

Also fond of French alternative and rap. I would love you to share your favourite songs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

MAIN ONE: Moved to another country with my friend at the age of 17, the best decision in my whole life.

Some other ones: to be updated... (I'm in the process of remembering these)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to travel on a budget and hitchhike! Also how to make the best matcha latte or tea (if you ask, I'll take it with me). We can do whatever we make fun of, why would we be boring!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook shakshuka or make an amazing coffee or matcha!! Also can tell the stories about travelling in the craziest regions of Russia. If wanted, talk about politics in any country ahahah – especially Russian, which I am very knowledgable about.
