I am a textile designer and love every bit of my occupation.

My dream for the future is my own workshop where I can print my own designs. I want to use old and new printing techniques and if possible use enviroment friendly colours. Nature and the conservation of it plays a big role in my life. So yes, I love patterns and I am always up for new ideas and inspirations.

I used to live in London for 6 years, which was 15 years ago. I still have friends there and visit them from time to time. I love Great Britain and who knows, maybe one day I will end up there again. Just last summer 2018 I spent one hole month with Moria, my daughter there to travel from London to Scotland and then all the way down to Cornwall. It was such a great trip.

I respect people any sexual orientation and belive. So if you look for an open minded person you are at the right place. I am in general easy going and don't need much to be happy. My 15-year-old daughter Moria ( we call her Mo) is still in school, loves soccer, kick boxing, plays guitar and drums and wants to become a professional actress one day. We both love theater, dance and any kind of art, especially streetart. Mo is the funny one, she likes to make many puns or knock knock jokes.

Besides that Mo is vegetarian, I can be vegan, vegetarian and sometimes I eat organic meat. We love to do WWOOFing in other countries and did it already in a few countries in Europe. That means travelling is a big part of our lives. So yes, come and stay in my house and share with us your stories. :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to get to know people from all over the world to learn more about their cultural backgrounds , their places and to practice other languages.
Especially to feel the european way of life in all it's different forms it is the best way to get to know people. :-) But of course, all people are wecome wherever they come from. ;-)
As far as my city Vienna is concerned I like to show you around to all the beautiful places.

Actually I am very open minded in terms of music and always happy to learn more about new music/artists. I love to read, my favorite writer is Heinrich Böll. But there are so many good writers, female and male that I can't list them all. I love independent movies from all over the world, good old movies from the 20th century, documentaries, roadmovies and we both love Gilmore girls, Friends, Pretty Woman, Grease, Dirty dancing and other good old series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Of course my daugher Mo is the most amazing thing in my life! :-)
And I visited India long time ago which was a really great experience for me. As I am a textile designer I want to go there again to learn the old way of printing fabrics. So hopefully I will make it there again in the future to learn more from the old masters.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about textile design. I love to share good intellectual talks about art, books, philosophy, anarchism, the meaning of life, nature and how we can overcome the great problems of our time. Moria can teach you German and knows funny jokes.

We can show you some nice places in Vienna and are always open for new people, places, ideas and love adventures. The most important thing for me is to appreciate life, nature and to have fun with whatever I do. And as I am a textile designer I love patterns and can show you what I do.
