ABOUT ME

Update: I live and study in Maastricht now!

When not travelling I tend to check CS only every once in a blue moon and dont recieve communication from CS. If you want to surf my couch please send me a request to

p(dot)strohmeier(at)student(dot)maastrichtuniversity(dot)nl

be sure to include a link to your profile and whatever you would include in a regular CS request.

----> this is oldish information, i need to update this eventually, but it may still give you an impression of me.

I love Vienna and know my way around quite well ... I love giving tours of Vienna and know lots of interesting little facts and stories ... if you want a tour Id enjoy doing that.

Also, go ahead and read my references (Though like most references they are biased and overly positiv - note that i can be an irresponsible pain in the ass as well)

you can check out my myspace to find some additional impressions on me:

*

I am currently studying international economics in Eisenstadt, close to Vienna but I will either be moving back to Vienna or possibly to Maastricht next semester.

In Summer I usually work as a social worker in northern Germany.

I grew up half american, half austrian, though now I guess I am slightly more austrian than american - though sometimes I wish it where the other way around.

Ive lived in many different places - the longest permanent adress I have ever had though was in Vienna.

*

I also have profiles on StudiVZ and Facebook, though I dont use those networks a whole lot, so they are probably not very informativ...

PHILOSOPHY

... no idea. i am not big on commen moral cliches. i tend to do things my way ... i guess thats something witch many people like about me and a couple of people. well. dont.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my travels usually are very spontaneus and irratic i have not actually done that much actual "CS" Couchsurfing. My best couchsurfing experience ever though was in Bucharest, where somebody i met in the subway and asked how to find a hostel ended up hosting me for a weak :-)

I have had guests who have become good friends, i have hosted perfect stranger not affiliated with CS or HC and who i have never heard of again...

I have been to HC meetings in the baltic states, i have met most of the Belorussian CouchSurfers (at least the ones from Minsk :-) My first ever CS Couchsurfing experience was in Berkely CA.

I hosted the Couchsurfing/GigSwapping event in Vienna and met a bunch of amazing Couchsurfing Musicians...

Couchsurfing defnitly adds richness to my life.

Most recent book i have read is UBIK by Philipp K. Dick... and for some uncanny reason I think there is another book out there, that is amasingly similar. The whole "half life" concept... im sure i have read about it in some other book as well... and some of the characters seem really familier... anyone know why? where i might have read it?
