Hi there! 😊

I'm Shivani, 22 years old, and currently living in Vienna. I'm an active and adventurous person who loves experiencing new things. 🌍✨

I joined Couchsurfing because I have a deep love for traveling and connecting with locals. For me, it's the best way to create unforgettable memories and truly immerse myself in the culture. Let's share great experiences together! 💃✈️

Looking forward to meeting you! 🤗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling isn't just about enjoying a relaxing holiday in a hotel or rushing to visit as many countries as possible to check them off my bucket list. Instead, traveling means freedom—it’s about growing and evolving outside my comfort zone.

When I travel, especially alone, I strive to immerse myself in unfamiliar worlds, explore different perspectives on life, and experience diverse cultures, traditions, and opinions. While I love discovering new places, what truly excites me is connecting with people.

I use Couchsurfing not just as a way to save money, but because it allows me to meet individuals from completely different cultural backgrounds. Traveling has shown me the kindness and trustworthiness of so many people around the world, and I find that truly inspiring.

I’m here to meet others with an open heart—whether it’s to share a place to stay, explore together, or host in return. I think it’s incredible to connect with like-minded, open-minded travelers through Couchsurfing and build meaningful relationships along the way. 🌍✨

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot and absolutely love all the books by Lucinda Riley. I don’t watch any series or movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After high school, I lived and volunteered in an international community. There I met many people from all over the world and got to know many cultures, although this community was in the middle of nowhere in Germany. In that crazy community I evolved myself a lot personally, became more open minded and developed my desire to travel the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always treat my hosts' homes with the utmost respect and care, as if they were my own. I'm more than happy to lend a hand around the house—whether that’s helping with chores or preparing a meal to share together. 🍳✨

I truly enjoy spending time with my hosts, getting to know them, and sharing great conversations. However, I completely understand if you’re busy or need your own space—I’m very flexible and can easily adapt to different situations.

Ultimately, I’m here to make the experience enjoyable for both of us and leave a positive impression wherever I stay. 😊
