Hey,
My name is Carina, I’m 21 and from Austria. I’m a Biochem student with a love for the outdoors. Whether it’s climbing, skiing, or hiking, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by nature. I’m also a big fan of sightseeing and enjoy exploring new cities, learning about history, and discovering hidden gems.

I’m an open-minded and curious person who enjoys meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and sharing experiences. My friends tell me I’m pretty funny (though I guess you’ll have to decide that for yourself). I’m always up for a good conversation, an adventure, or just a relaxing evening. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded travelers and hosts!

I‘ve been lucky enough to see quite a bit of the world already, and I absolutely love traveling. It’s such a great way to grow personally, learn and connect with amazing people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love the idea of connecting with people from around the world in a more personal and authentic way. Staying with locals gives me a chance to experience a place from a unique perspective, learn about different cultures, and make meaningful connections along the way.

For me it’s about sharing stories, laughter, and experiences with amazing people. I believe travel is more memorable when it’s about the people you meet!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all genres of music. My top three artists at the moment are Travis Scott, Ludovico Einaudi and Guns N’Roses.

There are a ton of movies that I enjoy watching, I love Oppenheimer, Forrest Gump. A must see from my point of view is Schindler’s List.

I recently started reading, so I‘m still trying out different genres and I’d be more than happy to get some recommendations. I really liked Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered at a hostel in Indonesia and it was one of the greatest experiences. Meeting soo many people from all over the world with different views of life was something I’ll never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Karate if you want to, it’s pretty fun :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to have good conversations, talk about different things and topics and learn something from each other in the process.
