Can also organise cheap co-working near the river if necessary (3km away from the flat)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why I'm on Couchsurfing: I believe travel should be a right not a privilege. People from many countries, cultures and religions have helped me a lot on my journey through life so I try to give sth small back. Everyone is welcome.

Also, looking to enjoy tea and coffee, go for a walk and maybe learn some Russian or Arabic language from a native. Happy to exchange stories and perhaps show Vienna if I see a point in prioritising it.
