Hey Couchsurfers, my name is Barbara and I currently live and work in Klagenfurt, a town in the south of Austria.

I'm a curious person who quickly takes an interest in all kinds of things, and I try to meet the world with an open mind.

I don't host atm! To be found at the monthly Klagenfurt Couchsurfing meetup though 😊

Interessi

I learned to value observing and experiencing the world through its details, and I find a lot of joy in doing so lately. I'm a great friend of slowness, piece and quiet, but I also enjoy a good company and the sparkle of adventure every now and then.

Musica, film e libri

Various music, various books, and a lot of both. I love reading and music, so I'm always happy to talk about those topics and to get new recommendations.

Bright Eyes, Soap&Skin, Wir Sind Helden, Tom Rosenthal, Jovanotti, The Velvet Underground, Hubert von Goisern, Ernst Molden, Regina Spektor

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

When I was 18, I went to Bangkok on my own and visited a Sikh-Temple in the middle of the small Indian neighborhood, feeling like the first tourist ever to go there.

Seeing the milky way high up in the Alps on a summer night.

Taking a gap year after high school and experiencing so many great things while workawaying in France, Spain and Italy.
