Hi! I'm Lea, a 19-year old open-minded interrailer :)
I spend a lot of time reading and going into the mountains, be it hiking, skiing or climbing.
During the last two years, I did an apprenticeship as a bookseller, so I have lots of funny stories to tell from then!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Actually meet and talk to locals, not only asking random people on the street for directions, but also learning more about the way of living in Scandinavia

Interests

As I've done an apprenticeship as a bookseller for the last 2 years, I really enjoy reading, which I can do literally everywhere.
Growing up in Austria, I love spending time in the mountains, on skis or in shoes. I've recently started bouldering and brought my climbing shoes with me on my travels, so I'd love to go climbing in your city!
I'm a very curious person, so I love to experience new things and meet new people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I loved "Invisible Women", a non-fiction book depicting how in the age of Big Data, women are still not taken account of because there's no specific data for their needs (in medicine and design for example).
My absolute favourite book is "The End of Loneliness" by Benedict Wells, a very emotional story about two brothers and their sister who loose their parents at a very young age.
