Friendly, respectful, open-minded Austrian who loves making new experiences and getting to know new people. I'm a huge outdoors enthusiast, enjoy sports and nature a lot, and hike, swim, run, ski, go skitouring or paragliding whenever I can.
I have a passion for travelling and interacting with people of all parts of the world. Love learning and playing with foreign languages. I enjoy having a laugh, but also serious conversation about deep topics (preferrably with red wine within easy reach ;-)). I wanna live life to the fullest, see as much of the world as I can, and learn from other open and curious people while sharing the positive energy with those around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent the night under open skies on a mountain peak during the Perseid meteor shower time, clear pitch-black skies with countless stars, shooting stars, plus occasional lightning bolts in a distant thunderstorm, and nothing but the stillness of nature all around.

Teach, Learn, Share

Different cultures, societies, countries have so much to learn from each other and teach each other! Bridge the gap between culture by travelling and linking up!
