About me:

Hi!

I'm Chris. What can I tell you?

Originally, I'm from Styria - a southern province of Austria - but I grew up in Lower Austria - the province surrounding Vienna. Tired of the Austrian Way of Life and curious for something new I went to the US for a year to study. There I got the chance to see a lot of the country-side as well as a collection of big cities.

When I got back I moved to Vienna and started to study international economics which I'm still doing.

My hobbies involve sports, hanging out with friends, work as a volunteer for AFS – an organization promoting intercultural learning, party at the womBar and travel as much as possible. My recently visited destinations were Sweden, Finland, Germany and Poland. This summer I'll be traveling to Luxembourg, through France and the Czech Republic.

How I got to be a part of Wombats?
After being a regular guest at the womBar (still a hobby of mine) I decided to apply for a job at the reception to make sure that I could still meet people from all over the world which is by the way the most fun in this job. Other than that I can just tell you how much I enjoy to be part of a great team and a great hostel!

Although I've seen a few places around the world, Austria seems like a very good place to be. Vienna is a beautiful city, so if you get the chance, come and visit us! And when you're here and you have a question, than just come down to the reception desk and ask ;)

Have fun & travel safely
Chris
