Hi there!

I´m Patricia. As soon as we get to know each other you can also call me Picci. I´m an openminded, friendly, warmhearted person. I love documentary films, I like to go the cinema in general, enjoy concerts and go to a bar. I enjoy hiking or just go for a leisure walk and have a coffee with a good chat. I really like to observe my environment and take my surrounding in.

See you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel as probably all here on this platform. But I really enjoy to stay with locals wherever I am to get to know a country through it´s people! I like to catch a glimpse of how it is to live somewhere on an everyday basis (or even grow-up) through your lived experience apart from my limits as a tourist. I would appreciate some tips where to go and what to do alternatively to all the tourists guide.
That´s why I also love to exchange travel stories, maybe we´ve been to the same countries or you might awake my interest where to explore next?!

Music, Movies, and Books

the music I like is diverse, and I can get enthusiastic for a lot of genres. For instance: Devandra Banhart, Kendrick Lamar Jack Johnson, Faber, MEUTE, Amanda Palmer, LP, Ibeyi, Childish Gambino, Cosmo Sheldrake, Molly Nilsson, Gustav, ....

Once more, I really like to watch documentary films, all kind of sorts. e.g. The Look of Silence, Those who Jump, Fuck White Tears, etc.
But I also like to watch movies, some you might know: Mathilda (from my childhood), V like Vendetta, HER, Con Air, Lord of War, I see I see etc. and "Trash TV" can be awesome as well! :)

I don´t read that much ( just because I already read so much for Uni), but when I read then mostly classics or books that are recommended by my friends. The last books I read: Spiegelmen - Maus, V. Woolf - A room of one´s own, T.C. Boile - Tortilla Curtain, Murakami - Kafka at the Beach

Did research about Reggae on Seychelles.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let´s share our stories. But when there´s time, I can cook a traditional austrian Kaiserschmarren for you. Just to mention, under the pressure of performance it doesn´t always work out well ;)
