COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Don`t take advantage of my hospitality! Ask what you can do - bring- share in exchange for a nice place to stay.
I enjoy having CSer in my house, show them around (even to show them the places where "sound of music" was filmed when my time permits.
I like to invite them to "Wiener Schnitzel" or other typical austrian food, sit around our big table (picture) and listen to them talking about their country ....
Interests
Participating in outdoor activities (especially in winter) like snowboarding, swimming, hiking...
I love to travel alone.
I like to see different cultures, foreign towns, love to see performances in theaters, operas, musicals ...
