About Me

CURRENT MISSION

mastering life without getting lost in an infinite loop

ABOUT ME

i am studying psychology in vienna and love to travel. i know maybe this is this kind of sentence that is standing on every cs profile, but even though this "i love to travel" sentence is some kind of a cliché it is a true sentence for me.
if i have the time and the money i go traveling. until this moment it has been only some weeks or months but at some point i hope that i will go for one or two years traveling through the world.

i am working with handicaped people and people with migration background.

i am impulsive, chaotic, most of the time really friendly and easygoing. i love to talk the whole night if there is a good story, like to party, art, books, philosophy (if i am in a good mood and have the time and patience to read it. but yeah to be honest these are sometimes rare moments ;)

PHILOSOPHY

be generous.
don't take the world and you to serious, but never be indifferent. indifference is one of the things that destroys humanity and humour.

it is ok to follow your first impression but have also the courage to change that impression.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i had a couple of good experience with couchsurfing till now. i try to show my guests a little bit of my city and about my life. that is what i would also expect from an ideal host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i hosted a couple of surfers and it was always a nice experience.
i surfed in san francisco, spain, sweden, slovenia, istanbul, berlin and krems.

it was always a great experience and will also participate in the future at CS.

Interests

i dont really know. in the last few months i enjoyed my rolling-stone-being a lot. but i think my interests depends on my restlessness.

Music, Movies, and Books

the latest books i've read:
tolstoj anna karenina
suter ein perfekter freund
charles baudelaire die blumen des bösen
roald dahl someone like you
houllebecq möglichkeiten einer insel

velvet underground sonic youth leonard cohen lou reed bob dylan all these great masters own my heart.
but also element of crime and einstürzende neubauten give me some moments of absolut peace or madness.
the barriton voices from the national or give me the creeps.

my newest passion is electronic music. the grandmasters like paul kalkbrenner, apparat and trentemoller or bands like fever ray give me moments of joy.

i excuse me for this listing of films but i think i cant describe such beautiful films correctly.- so please judge for your own.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

there are a lot of things. but right now i dont remember any of those stories XD

Teach, Learn, Share

i tried to read some philosophers. but i dont think i understood them in they way they wanted to be understand :)
