About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To dance with 3 balls

ABOUT ME

I lived 19 years in the western part of Austria with my parents and my 3 brothers - and suddenly, I went to Nicaragua to do my social service for 14 months without knowing a single spanish word.
After that I started to assemble vacuum valves in Swizerland - I still have nightmares of this period of my live.
Now I'm studying in Vienna, some kind of water-engineering, what was the best thing to do for me. I love it.
The way from my university to the park is shorter than to the busstation home, so I spend a lot of my freetime juggling in the park and hanging around with other students.
So now you should know who I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience showed me that people who share are less afraid of things they don't know and I don't want to be afraid!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's really simple. If you want to come to Vienna send me a message and if I'm here and I have time you have a place to stay.
If I want to go somewhere I write an Email and if I can stay somewhere my journey continues.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Last summer I landed in Antwerpen, Belgium. I had no idea where I'm getting to and it was hilarious!
Two guys from Serbia were here, telling me some facts about serbian nationalists, very horrifying.
Paris - without this touristic stuff.
Stayed in Karlsruhe at the place of a very nice couple - a lot of fun.
During a tour through the Balkan I have seen some wonderfull places, met awesome CS and had a lot of fun.
My last big trip around the balticum, skandinavia was unbeliveably beautiful. So many friendly people. If theese countries wouldn't exist we would have to invent them.
