Running is my love, traveling my passion, meeting people my inspiration.

Hi everyone! :)
I am a young doctor in my third year of residency in a viennese radiologic department - right now I am on unpaid leave until end of september.

I am currently volunteering as a radiology resident at Public Hospital in Georgetown / Guyana until 4st of June. In total I've been here for two months.
After that I am going to travel, starting in Mexico-City and then heading towards east coast of Mexico, taking a flight a month later from Cancun to Costa Rica to start my Yoga Teacher Training there, which will last 3 weeks.

I'm probably addicted to travelling and exploring new places. It humbles oneself and broadens your horizon like nothing else in the world.

I love many kinds of sport, especially running is a huge passion - I even love it so much that I've been running a marathon last year in Sweden and can't wait to run my next. As Guyana was too unsafe to go running outside, I needed to postpone my plans to run a marathon soon, but I am longing for exercising as soon as I can again.
Beside that I practice yoga and to deepen my practice I will attend the Yoga Teacher Training soon.
Besides that I like swimming and hiking and there are some other things like beach volleyball, but because of a lack of time I don't practice that regularly.

Food is always a good idea. Strolling through local markets is one of my favorite things to do when traveling and I´d like to try aaaaaall those delicious local things :) I am in general more on the healthy side but easily to seduce.I also enjoy having drinks, but I am not a wild partyanimal kind of person usually, so don't be disappointed when I go to bed early to catch an early morning to seize the day (and probably go for a run) ;)

Curious. Yes I am curious. I mean, if you travel the world alone, a certain amount of that is necessarily needed.
Love to meet new people, improve my foreign languages and get to know a country through local people.

Music plays an important role in my life, I don't play any instrument though. Depending on the situation, I have different kinds of music I like. Latin-American music and Indie are amongst my favorites. Sometimes I need a bit of electronic stuff and I used to go to clubs regularly when I was a couple of years younger.
Some of my friends say I am listening to sad music at home. Well, I just adore it.

I have studied medicine in Innsbruck, an Austrian city in the heart of the Alpes. Besides that I have than an exchange year in Paris in my 4th year of studies, and I've done several little internships in different foreign cities like Berlin, Copenhagen and Hong Kong. I am happy with my choice, although a doctor´s life is most of the time not like many people may imagine. Sometimes its rough and you gotta fight through your day - or the night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because getting to new people all over the globe is simply amazing and every human being that crosses your path can teach you something.

At the moment I have no experience, but I have friends doing that and I have been curious to try.
I want to clarify at this point that I am not interested in sexual interactions and I am kindly asking to respect that. If that doesn't suit to your expectation, please don't even think about hosting - unfortunately this seems to be an issue now and then.
