Overview
About Me
26, born and raised on the countryside south of Salzburg, but moved to Vienna in 2012 for my studies. I consider myself as Viennese these days - the city and I are a good fit, I’d argue.
Most of my time is spent on talking & writing about Science, Technology, Philosophy and other more-or-less essential stuff.
Enjoying art, literature, making and listening to music and sports (Tennis, Biking, Skiing, Swimming) in my spare time. Although I’m playing guitar for ages, I’m still being too critical about my own playing.
“The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return" - Nat King Cole

Music, Movies, and Books
Mostly Jazz/Post-rock/Techno, but highly open-minded.
Artsy movies, Nouvelle Vague (Godard!), Documentaries, Classics (e. g. Sunset Boulevard) - not so much in love with blockbusters.
Mostly classics (Dostojewski, Balzac, Zweig), but also newer stuff such as Haruki Murakami. Currently reading Proust’s “Swann’s way”.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was working as a stylist in the Vienna Scotch & Soda store, I once had the tour manager of Kraftwerk as customer. We got to talk about Electronic music, the touring life in general, and how my friends and I sadly missed out on tickets for the sold-out Kraftwerk stops in the Vienna Burgtheater - the next day, she returned with two tickets for really good seats in the third row, and the concert turned out to be mind blowing.
Teach, Learn, Share
Master in Science, Technology, Society Studies (STS), Bachelor in Communication Science, dropped out of Philosophy.
I love all things (social) scientific, but I gladly discuss philosophical topics as well. Ohh, and I love debating politics and policies [no worries, not a must].
What I Can Share with Hosts
I genuinely love to jointly share the passion for good food, art, literature, music - put short: celebrating the passion for all things cultural together. And of course, I can help with learning German and English.
