About Me

CURRENT MISSION

skiing and travelling in alaska

ABOUT ME

i'd say i'm pretty laid back and try to enjoy the moments.currently i'm studying sports science and geography which i really like. last semester i've been on exchange in juneau, alaska which was one of my most valuable experiences in life.mountains mean everything to me. if they are covered with snow - even better for skiing down! if not i love to climb some rocks and peaks. i also just like to hang out with friends in the park to do some slack lining or play the guitar.besides studying i work as a raft- and canyoneering-guide and skiing instructor.

PHILOSOPHY

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
(T. E. Lawrence)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i have already surfed at some places in Norway, Sweden and Alaska.when i'm back home from my exchange semester i'd love to host people from all over the world and show them around where i live.besides my appartment in Graz i also live with my parents in the mountains during weekends and vacations. it would be a pleasure for me to take people skiing or climbing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i already made some really good friends with couch surfing and i hope they will have the chance to visit me at home too someday.so far i just had positive experiences with staying at couchsurfer's houses, thank you all.

Interests

i really love the outdoors and i could not imagine living without mountains. i'm into rock climbing, hiking, mountainbiking etc. in summers and in winters i love to play with snow and ice (downhill skiing, alpine ski touring, ice hockey and recently ice climbing) i'm pretty much motivated for anything and i hope i'll learn surfing soon.also just hanging out in the park to do slacklining, playing the guitar or with a fresbee is also part of my freetime, of course
