About Me

I like to think and live out-of-the-box while retaining a certain degree of "groundedness".
Therefore I studied Economics & some philosophy, acted in small theaters, play 3 instruments, lead 3-4 (international) youth organizations, was an avid gamer, organise youth peace congresses, work in innovation projects of all kinds, write articles for magazines, cook nicely for guests, love to travel, write short stories and fragments, photography, movie-making and so on and so on. There are no limits to creativity in my opinion and joy and wisdom can be found both in silent solitude and in excessive activity.
I'm very open-minded (I guess you can tell from the above) and always interested in new experiences.

Currently I'm all immersed in tech startups.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been one of the first hosts in Vienna, more than 12 years ago. I loved and still love the idea of getting to know people from all over the world and especially such people that have a completely different background and experience than I do.

Interests

Anything and everything
I like to listen to life stories and the wisdom people have acquired in whatever they do - as long as it is not just told to show off. Also I like to be challenged and have my mind blown. Go for it!
