I am a computer science student living in Vienna who loves exploring foreign culture, cuisine and landscape and visit conferences and concerts all over the world. I am passionate about music, cooking, computers and science. Other things I do in my freetime include playing the trumpet, Ultimate Frisbee and travelling.

While I may sometimes be little quiet or even shy, I see myself as a friendly, genuine and very open-minded person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get and provide a better, more genuine experience of the country I am visiting. Living with locals is the best way to get to know foreign culture. Also, Couchsurfing makes travelling for students like me much more affordable and exciting.
