About Me

### NOTE: Am on a Euro Trip from Jan 16th to Feb 24th. Can host only after that. ###

I am a very open minded always active person that is always in a good mood :)

I love to travel and meet interesting people from various cultures. I do about 1 weekend trip per month. Have seen a lot of places in Europe and I am currently doing a semester abroad in England. I also hike a lot in Austria

I do all kind of sports and love to try new hobbies. I run, play volleyball and enjoy all kinds of outdoor sports.

I am always up for a laugh. You will never see me without a smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling alone, it is good to have someone at the destination to hang out with. Stranding in an unknown city alone sucks. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet new people while traveling.

When I travel I love to meet new people. I also want to offer my home in Austria for travelers. (preferably solo travelers)

Interests

I love travelling (as everyone on this platform I guess :D). I do a lot of sport especially team and outdoor sport.

I started public speaking half a year ago and enjoy stepping outside the comfort zone.

I am working as software engineer. I follow this passion not only in my job. I also love to read up stuff and do side projects on my own.

I read a lot.

Oh. and lets not forget cats. I love cats :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost everything. At home I listen to upbeat chillout music and when going out I enjoy all kind of uplifting stuff

Don't watch TV that often. Sometimes I watch series but I lose interest really quick.

I enjoy all genres of Books. Mostly I read all kind of software engineering, personal development and psychology books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran 2 Marathons with my friend Andi.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can cook awesome Austrian dishes like Schnitzel, Kaiserschmarrn, Potatoe salad or Palatschinken.

And If you are interested, I can tell you everything about my big passion: programming. I can also fix your computer xD

Learn:
I am interested in cultures. Tell me about your travel and your experience.
