I had my first (very positive) couchsurfing-trip in 2016 in Göttingen, Germany. Since then, I am eager to pass on this wonderful experience. Here some facts about me:

I am interested in persons, life storys and mind sets. Meeting different folks outside one's own life bubble can be highly inspiring. Currently, I am a teacher and a researcher at the University of Vienna. Before that, I have worked in a scientific publishing house. I am married and we have a daughter.
