CURRENT MISSION

creating time & room for more CS experience after some 2 years of break...

ABOUT ME

Hello everybody! I grew up on Austrias countryside, but moved to Vienna at age 14.

I made a lot of great CS experiences a few years back, but unfortunately due to a high workload, diploma thesis and so on CS moved more and more out of focus. Looking at my profile now is somethink like time travel...so it will be updated soon :) I´m looking very much forward to new interesting experiences!

Things i like: Music, friendship, open air festivals, antaris project, cooking, chemistry, photography, goa, intense sunshine, thunderstorms, travelling, radionuclides, booking flights, buying sneakers, hungarian supermarkets, smoked cheese, fondue, my family, nature, plants, biodiversity, biking, days spent in nature, beer & other beverages, das jetzt, the flex, long phonecalls, snakes, tcherenkov radiation, crazyness, dahab, fluorescent paint, light graffitti, arts, pillow fights, chocolate, Balisto (red, yellow & violet), coral reefs & beautiful fish, elephants & giraffes, animals in general, coffee, more coffee, tea,the smell of burnt chocolate,...

dont likes: racism, xenophobia, homophobia, time shortage, (political) populism, ads, watching TV, manipulative media

I would also consider myself as open minded, spontanous, hospitable and highly caffeine-addicted! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

There is a nice quote from Mark Twain:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didnt do, than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discvover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My doors are open for everybody coming to vienna, if its only a coffee, a trip through the city or a few nights on the couch. Of course everything depends on my free time, but if possible i´d show you around the city and surroundings or jump into vienese nightlife!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

just good ones!

Interests

Travelling, Diving, Sports (Biking, hiking, jogging -> meanwhile a lot, so if you re a runner id be very happy to hit the road with you show you the best vienna running routes!), Music, Outdoor activities, or just sitting in viennas "Burggarten" with friends and a few cans of beer! In addition i startet with photography a few months ago, but my skills need yet to improve.

Another thing that gives me some sort of kick is Urban exploration - visiting abandoned factorys, hospitals, hotels, subway stations, or any other building you can imagine ;) Abandoned and "lost" are the ímportant factors... trying to get inside - feel the athmosphere such places often inherit - leaving nothing but footprints, taking nothing but pictures!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Warning: I dont have a TV-Set, so dont be disappointed if you like to watch TV :). I really enjoyed the films Koyaanisqatsi, "In China essen sie Hunde", Donnie Darko, The Butterfly Effect, Dogma, Dancer in the Dark, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Cypher and many more. Cant also resist Breaking Bad, Better Off Ted (Life.Better. :)) and Futurama!

Music: From world music to dubstep to dnb to house and psytrance, and all the things in between ;) - but i really try not to stick to genres...

My favorite reads so far: Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, Stefan Zweig, Heinrich Böll and also Carlos Castaneda (but that was some years ago :))
