Overview
About Me
Uncomplicated, spontaneous, most of the time in a good mood and naive (sometimes a bit too much).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Had great experiences with locals so far (both as host and as guest), definitely want more of them!
Interests
I'm a little workaholic to be honest :-)
Mostly working on a project enabling barrier-free emergency communication (https://www.dec112.at/en), currently focusing on emergency calls for deaf people and victims of physical violence.
In my free-time I like making music (drums, baritone, guitar), meeting up with friends, visiting new places and good food (both cooking and eating of course!). I'm also volunteering for the Red Cross (at a social grocery store) and volunteering for BRAVEAURORA, an NGO that focuses on child-protection and socio-economic development in Ghana. Actually I've already lived in Ghana for quite some time and worked on-site with our team. Apart from that I love to go on hikes, especially on mountains.
I really love debates and discussions about how we as a species can live a good life and what has to be done to improve the status quo.

Music, Movies, and Books
Musikkapelle Wernstein (our local brass band) of course ;)
Swing, Jazz, sometimes Electro, Alternative, Funk.
Don't ask me about movies or series, I know nuts about it as I don't have a TV :-)
However, I love listening to podcasts (TED and local stuff).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Met a girl at the prom of my cousin and visited her 3 months later at her home in Germany (she lives 700km away). We're a couple since then for more than 6 years already.
Having lived and worked in Ghana for more than 5 months.
Standing directly in front of the crater of Etna (and of course climbing it).
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to share my cooking, guitar and drumming skills (maybe programming skills as well?) and what's more, dancing, talking/discussing about everything!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good food (my cooking skills are really decent!), programming lessons, making music together and some deep conversations about...well...everything.
