I am a German teacher by profession, based in Vienna, Austria. My job permits me to work pretty much everywhere in the world. That gives me the opportunity to stay in different places for a while. I spent 1 year in Rome, 2 in Mexico, 4 in Berlin, 6 months in India and 1.5 years on ships. I just came back to Vienna to settle here now. I aso want to work in something else now. Let's see how that's going 😄

Besides, I have been organizing concerts and festivals in Austria for over 10 years and I enjoy going to (small) concerts a lot and love to see new bands :-) Please take me to concerts and show me cool music! 🤗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Jump in and see more than monuments, I'd rather see real life.

**I get the feeling that nowaday some people use Couchsurfing like a dating platform. please respect that I don't**
