ABOUT ME

My name suggests that I am a defender and brewer ;)

It may sound corny, but I'm one of those optimists, who thinks that if we try hard enough, our world could be a better place. After my wild and carefree childhood, I started to think about all the other people in the world and compared my life to theirs. Then I began to study economics, mathematics and to become interested. I spent one year in Spain (Erasmus) and travel whenever I can. Whenever I'm not studying, I'm occupied with my voluntary work for the "Austrian Service Abroad" or I'm with my camera, my friends or my books.

PHILOSOPHY

See the world as it is, and dreams are allowed. Experience the moment and your constantly changing environment/ambience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
