CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying my life and making the most of it - after a fantastic one your off work for traveling I am back at work.

ABOUT ME

I (52) live with my family in a teeny-weeny village in the countryside, about 10 km from St.Poelten, 20 km from Krems/Danube and 80 km from Vienna.
There, I love pottering around in our garden, going jogging in the forest, meeting friends, doing line dance and zumba. I also love traveling and long distance hiking.
ProfessionalIy, I am a gardener and florist teaching at a nice horticultural school in Lower Austria. In 2013 I could take one year off work and travel to Thailand, Bali and Australia - on my own. That was exciting! Met lots of wonderful people and enjoyed getting to know beautiful places far away from home.

I like meeting people, getting to know them better and also having a good laugh with them. It relly broadens your mind! Practising foreign languages such as English and Spanish is actually one of my hobbies.
I am kind, helpful, and like having a good laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open to new experiences and think positive - as much as possible.
"Today is the first day of the rest of your life."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to be a host after having had two great hosts myself while I was travelling .(one in Brügge, Belgium and one in Bangkok) Of course, I would also like to be a guest, too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I am quite inexperienced. I have had only two hosts so far. But I was really lucky because this experience was just perfect and unique. So I am looking forward to meeting many couch surfers.
