Hey everyone!

I'm Börni, 18 years old and I live with my family in a house near the mountain Semmering in the south of Lower Austria and work as a paramedic in my hometown.

I am an adventurous person who enjoys making new friends and exploring the world. In my freetime I am a firefighter, leader of the fire brigade youth with my best friends, scout, leader of the ministrants and member of the country youth. Music is also an important part of my life! So I've taught myself to play a few instruments, write my own songs and organise rhythmic worship at my hometown church.

I would describe myself as a very open-minded, easy-going and down-to-earth person who doesn't need much as long as the human conditions are right.

I look forward to getting to know you,
Börni

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Be one of the over 50 000 participants of the World Scout Jamboree 2023 in South Korea (It's an international scoutcamp where you can participate as a participant only once in your life and is every 4 years)!

Successfully hitchhiked alone altough the locals had told me that no one will pick me up!
