About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rock the world!!!

ABOUT ME

My wanderlust has started in 2010 while studying abroad at Fairfield UConn in the USA, Connecticut. When I came back to Austria, there was no home anymore because my parents got divorced. Since then I travel constantly. I graduated from University with the degree MSc in Change Mgmnt in October 2013. Before that I have been working in IT and Import for 5 years. I'm always looking for new challenges and 'live my life to the fullest'. I'm eager to learn, like to read, I'm very athletic - go skiing with passionate and love the mountain air.

PHILOSOPHY

My attitude to life is: 'Live the life to the fullest'. I'm a very funny girl - with all the edges and corners. I just think life is there to be lived. Look forward and not back, learn from experiences and live in the here and now. Life is too wonderful to waste it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have got a rather small appartment with 44,52 square meters. Of course I provide a couch to sleep on. Since I'm travelling a lot and still have no experiences with CS, a preliminary talk via Skype is very important to me. We surely need to know what we are getting ourselves into! :) I would very much like to be housed by you and I can be reached via my e-mail address as well as on facebook at any time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

'Christkindlesmarkt' 2013 in Nuremberg: I experienced a very warm welcome by our host - laughing, talking about our trips while drinking Belvedere vodka.
