CURRENT MISSION

Renew, Revive!

ABOUT ME

Generally, I think I'm a quite open and sociable person who loves to meet new people, but I also enjoy spending time on my own, going just about anywhere I like. There's an artistic side to me; turning a piece of paper or canvas into something different is what usually makes me relax. I enjoy reading and literature, which is probably why I'm a rather passionate student of English, but I also know when it's time to leave my books on the shelf and have some fun, e.g. during a night out or just having a few drinks with friends. I basically grew up in the mountains (yes, I'm the walking cliche of an Austrian;), so whenever I'm in my home town I want to be out of doors, although I can be somewhat lazy, too. Well, that's it for now, I guess...

PHILOSOPHY

Life's all about broadening your horizon, artistically, culturally, academically or otherwise.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
