Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am about to go to Chile for my exchange semester. I try to visit as much as places as possible in Latin and South America! Grateful for every advice :) Looking forward to meeting as many nice people as possible :)
Discovering as many cultures as possible by drinking as much local beer as possible
IMPORTANT FOR SURFERS
Since I am an exchange student, I more or less of plenty of time to show you around and give you some advice on good bars etc. Nevertheless, I should also attend university some time, so I might not always be available but that shouldn't be a problem for experienced travelers ;) Just let me know a few days in advance if you'd wanna stay over.
ABOUT ME
I was raised in a small city in Austria. Currently I am living in Graz, Styria together with three of my best friends.
I graduated from school in 2011. After that I worked 9 months in a hospital which was - so far - one of the best times in my life. During that time I learned a lot about myself especially my attitude against total strangers and how to interact with them.
Right now I am studying at the FH Joanneum International Management. It's somewhat a mixture of languages, law, economics and intercultural behavior.
PHILOSOPHY
There is nothing that we cannot achive!
Money comes back, the youth not.
We are not travelling to arrive, we travelling to be on the way.

Interests
Coffee!!
I love sports especially Volleyball, Football (soccer) and Slacklining! I enjoy going out, having a few beers and dancing to good music. Attending big music festivals is though one of my biggest hobbies.
Playing poker amazes me.
Since I travel a lot I also count couchsurfing to my hobbies.
Dancing in the rain is also nice.
