Hailing in from the Austrian Alps, meet your average ski bum: ME!
*awkwardly stumbles onto stage* Hi, yes ok, damn... I'm not good at introductions, oh and stage fright is not helping me out here.

Ok, seriously though, noone likes to read, so here we go.
Born and raised in the Austrian Alps, I grew up skiing and just running around in the mountains, whilst having the English language drilled into me by my mother, effectively growing up bilingually.

Age 14, I was sent off to a boarding school in a ski village in Switzerland, which was undoubtedly THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. Living together causing mischief with your best friends, what more can a teenage bum's heart desire more? 4 years later I graduated from that school and took a gap year, again, skiing and travelling.

In September 2016 I will start my studies at the University of Exeter.

Beers, boards and buddies are all that I need in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be going on a low budget road trip with a friend in July 16 and so, sure, being broke college students, we're trying to save cash on accommodation, but as we're also not very familiar with the area some tips and tricks would be highly appreciated. Plus, what better way to meet like-minded people is there?

Interests

I'm into all things nature, so you're most likely to find me climbing up some mountain, clinging to some rock face or leaping off some cliff...most likely I'll be somewhere snowy though!

Other than that I love traveling and explore, meeting new people and just having a good time.

• yoga
• partying
• mountaineering
• scuba diving
• skiing
• snowboarding
• volleyball
• chilling
• climbing
• coasteering

Music, Movies, and Books

I dip my musical toes into everything from classic rock over singer/songwriter to EDM. So basically all things non-metal(?) It's hard to say, really.
My favorite movie of all time has got to be Donnie Darko, but I have to say im not into movies that much in general, I mean, my attention span is just waaaaaay too short for that :)
And books...um ok so, pleeeeaase don't judge me, the last book I read cover to cover was in 3rd grade. I'm not really into books. I read a lot of scientific magazines though...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught refugees in Thailand and orphans in Rwanda.
