Descripción

I am Matteo from Austria and I am embarking on my next adventure: South America.
**Update:
Peru from 24.05 - 11.07
Ecuador from 11-07 - End of July
Colombia from Beginning of August


I am Matteo and I have a huge fascination in exploring the world, plunging into adventures and meeting new people. I am totally hooked on globe seeking. I believe that platforms like Couchsurfing provide a unique opportunity to authentically explore new places and learn from different countries. I am passionate about other´s cultures and gaining new perspectives and I love listening to stories and discussing about the world, different traditions and believes. To me, traveling is a continuous process of learning and I attempt to improve and evolve as a person, to achieve bigger goals, to fulfill bigger dreams and live life to the fullest. Traveling reminds me to reconsider everyday decisions and actions, and not take anything for granted. It helps me to appreciate life. Traveling takes that leap of faith outside of my comfort zone so that I can be stronger and more experienced but most importantly, traveling has evolved into a kind of moral compass to me.

Building new friendships with people from around the world is partly why I love traveling and I am convinced that strangers are just friends that you haven't gotten to meet yet. Every walk and trip I have taken, the people along the way have become a great part of the story. And so I am looking forward to connecting with many other humans, and those who have a similar rambling attitudes to life!

I grew up in Austria but so far I‘ve lived in quite a few countries. My diverse background particualarly sparked my interest in exploring the world and immersing myself in new cultures. I‘m very outdoorsy and active in my spare time and I seek to get myself out of my comfort zone. I am passionate about outdoor sports, economics and green finance, investing, international relations, history, languages, cooking, literature and photography. I am a risk taker, a day-dreamer and a nightcrawler and I love to get lost in random places.

I eat vegetarian since I am small but apart from that I am not at all picky with food (I eat everything but no meat and no fish). and believes. To me, traveling is a continuous process of learning and I attempt to improv

I‘m very outdoorsy and active in my spare time and I seek to get myself out of my comfort zone:

- Went on a 3 day solo canoe trip in Canada
- Hitchhiked across Turkey and joind the Namaz-prayers in an Istanbul-mosque. Appeared in
the state news
- Cycled 550km from Munich to Venice
- Climbed a 1300m wall in the Austrian Alps and played for the Austrian Badminton Youth
National Team for 5 years
- Meditated at a Thai Temple for 4 days
- Hiked to the Cenote-Caves and Maya/Aztecs pyramids in the Mexican jungle
- Rode 5h on the top of a Jeepney-Bus in the Cordillera rice plantations, Philippines
- Sneaked into the Ford v Ferrari film premier in Los Angeles
- Fixed a flat tire on a remote, 3400m altitude, serpentine-road in the Atlas mountains in
Morocco and climed the highest dune of the Moroccan Sahara desert
- Worked as an Hotel-Entertainer and Jetski instructor in a Greek hotel

ToDo-List: Trainhopping, Climbing abandoned television towers, dumpster diving, ice bathing, climbing frozen waterfalls, ultra-long distance hiking

I might be the biggest risk taker you have met.

Que habilidades tienes?

I am happy to share my help in different areas, wherever I am needed. I can help whith various chores or gardening. If interested, I can teach German (I also speak a bit French) and I can cook some delicous meals (cook experience for larger groups due to my work experience as a canoe Tripper in Canada). I´m good in childcare and love to take care of kids and do sports or other things with them. I also like to paint and work on creative projects. I am an animal lover and I can help you with keeping animals if you have some. I am also very interested in photography. If you need help with marketing, I’m happy to share my knowledge about it. I think I live quite ecoconscious and would love to support and help any organisations which protect nature or animals. I would describe myself as helpful and a hard working person when the working atmosphere is good. I really look forwards to help you or your family in any projects.
