CURRENT MISSION

THE WORLD :O! So many countries, so little time :(((

ABOUT ME

Well, describing myself in a few words should prove to be somewhat tricky :/ I'd say I'm an open-minded, fun-loving person who is always up to meeting new people, seeing new places, learning new languages (!!), discussing controversial issues, etc. I read about this project in a newspaper here in Austria, and I must say this is really a wonderful idea. I'd never have thought it would actually be possible - a few years ago I'd thought about it myself. I'm unbelievably grateful to the makers... now all that's left is a destination and a couch :) In February I'm off to London, couch supplied :) So, just contact me, I'm waiting for a surfer :) The next best thing to travelling is hosting travellers...

PHILOSOPHY

Do you know the feeling when you sometimes sit at home, thinking: "God, I'm so excited, I wonder what's in store for me?" - that's wonderful.

Interests

Art (more scribbling than art :S But I love the Met... don't know if that qualifies me as an expert, but hey!), Literature, Music, etc.

• yoga
• marathon
• traveling

Books - I used to read A LOT, now, time is scarce :( But I like all kinds of literature..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing experience was sailing at the World Sailing Championships in Cascais/POR last year. Awesome waves, awesome wind, awesome people, awesome country...

On a completely different level, participating in a parliament simulation with many other european teenagers a few years ago.

Feeling really stoked after exhausting myself in a half-marathon..

Many things, thank god :)
