Hi everyone! I'm Katharina and I am a German language teacher while also teaching in the teacher training programme for people wanting to teach German as a second or foreign language. I studied English and Italian at the university of Vienna. Additionally I conduct a gospel choir and I taught German to refugees for 3 years. I lived in Italy for 1 1/2 years, in 3 different cities. So maybe it's quite obvious that I love Italy ☺ I'm very interested in new cultures and languages and love getting to know people from different countries. Additionally I did a training for being an EFT practitioner and I love talking about everything that has to do with psychology, spirituality and the mind-body connection ☺ I meditate and do Yoga everyday 🌻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing, because I love meeting new people and I also think it's a very good idea of exchanging cultures and of course a fun and cheap way of travelling and travelling I think really opens one's mind.
