I’m an economics and political science student from Vienna. At the moment I am travelling in the U.S. before I am doing a semester abroad at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 😊 Besides my studies I am working as tennis coach at home in Vienna. Moreover, meeting up with friends and doing different sports are my hobbies. I am new on Couchsurfing so I am writing my Facebook and Instagram names below just to make sure!
