About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning biology, from molecule to biosphere!

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small village in Upper Austria, and moved to Linz 2008 to work there.
I really liked what i did there, but I made a promise to myself to start studying later, so that's why i quit working and started studiing Biology in 2010 in Graz! Now i'm starting my master in medical biology in Salzburg!
It's a beautiful city, always worth a visit!

PHILOSOPHY

to explore as much as possible of this planet:
and meet as many variegated people as possible, learn languages, getting knowledge of science, culture, music, philosophy,..

and to never forget that every single step into the right direction counts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to help every couchsurfer to find the nicest places in town. I for myself think it's great to also find places a normal tourist would never find.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed every single couch surfer, i'm astonished how much you can learn from another person in just a few days!

Interests

travelling, music, all sorts of art, internet, languages (i feel a very strong need for that, because so far i only speak German and English!), biology, electronics, politics, science (in general), history, reading: mostly everything that is even a bit interesting for me! (and thats a lot!)
sports like: climbing (mostly bouldering), diving, skiing, swimming, biking and i enjoy long tours in the mountains!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really enjoyed every minute of my two-month stay in Toronto - mostly because i met people from all over the world, but also because it's an amazing city!
And i'm really glad that i had the chance to explore the beautyful north of Finland, i was deeply impressed.
In the last years i learned to dive in Indonesia & Egypt. I traveled to California and visited Cambodia & Vietnam. I also did a 2nd diving trip to Egypt, the Red Sea is amazing, full of Mantas and Hammerheads! There is always a next big trip ahead!

Besides amazing traveling, i worked for seven months in cancer research (leukemia), and i have to say it might be the single most useful thing i did in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good at repairing electronics.
I can definitely teach how to get along in the Austrian Alps.
Oh, and i do know how to play the jaw harp and how to throw a lasso! ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do know how to get around in Salzburg and the surrounding area.
There are many things to see!
If you want, i can also tell you where to go in Graz or Linz because i lived there for some years.

If you have your technical travelling companions (no cyborgs, sorry; i'm talking about broken phones, cameras or similar gadgets) who need to be fixed up, i probably can do that, or help you with it.
