CURRENT MISSION

Turn things up-side down

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm doing a voluntary service in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. I work with children and teenager in a Youth Center in order to improve my education- and language skills. In August I will return to Austria, where I currently study English and Spanish in order to be a teacher. I use my gap year here in Spain for travelling to as many places as possible and get to know interesting people :-)

I'm an open and active person and I enjoy experiencing new stuff - new food, new languages, new places, new people! I have to admit, though, that I have problems to concentrate on one thing because I'm easily bored. I enjoy laughing and I appreciate the company of people with a good sense of humor. I like doing things right, I'm responsible and reliable. On the other hand, my flatmates think I'm a bit too fussy about issues like cleaning, and it's true, but I try to take things easier since I'm Spain.. ;-)

The most important things in life for me are my friends and my family, experiencing new things everyday (and if it's just a new flavour of chewing gum)and giving back all the good things I have received in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that everything you do will come back to you, the good as well as the bad. If you want to lead a happy life, change the things you don't like, accept what you cannot change and be smart enough to realize the difference between them.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my couch in Santiago as long as I stay in Spain and after that, my couch in Innsbruck, Austria.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, so far... I hope I will change that soon! :-)

兴趣

I enjoy eating good food (and cooking it!), travelling, different kinds of sports (running, hiking, cicling...), going to concerts and festivals, but also reading and having a quiet tea or coffee. Also, I am interested in photography and always hunting for good shots! I'm addicted to music but, sadly, I'm useless at producing it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The European Voluntary Service is one of the most amazing things I've ever done.. This and my hiking trips to South England and Ireland, unforgettable experiences! Bungee jumping on New Year's Eve was also pretty cool ^^
