My name is Michael and I originally come from a small village on the countryside of Lower Austria. In recent years I've started travelling in order to explore the world and everything it has to offer.

About me as a person I can say that I am generally open minded, curious and I try my best to keep a smile on my face whatever happens. Although I tend to be shy and reserved at the first glance, I open up pretty fast once I feel safe.

If you are a tattooer by any chance or are able to tattoo and want to practice, I am open to get a tattoo from you! 😝

If you're traveling through Lower Austria I would be glad to show you around a bit, just hit me up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This year in August and September I am going on a Interrail journey through Europe by myself. My main destinations are in the North Eastern part of Europe - Poland, Baltic states, Finland. That's where I plan to spend most of my time, but I also want to see Norway,Sweden and Denmark.

Therefore I use the platform to meet new people and get in touch with the local culture around my destinations.

I also want to be able to host people in the future, which would definitely make a great experience. Just not able to really do so, because I am still living with my mom.

Music, Movies, and Books

My heart beats for Hip Hop, but I also love Indie Rock, Reggae and some electronical music genres.

I love watching movies, especially Quentin Tarantino movies. Other genres I like are Anime, Horror, Comedy.

There was a time where I used to read more than now, but I still love to read different varieties of books, comics and mangas from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First solo trip: Visiting Switzerland in 2022, meeting a lot of people with a great attitude and interesting stories to tell! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn new languages, skills and ways of living. So if you can teach me anything I am ready to learn and listen. In exchange I'm afraid I can only offer to teach some German and have a talk about life/the world and the things it has to offer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest I would love to help wherever I can, so don't hesitate to ask!

Other than that I love to have talks about geography, culture and history.

So if you'd like to talk about those kinds of things I am all ears.
