CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Lyon.

ABOUT ME

Born and grown up in Austria, then after university moving to Modena (Italy), where I lived for three happy years. Now I am landed, yet by no means stranded in Lyon in order to work at the university.

PHILOSOPHY

To never ever force things to happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer coffee or drink in Lyon. I can even offer a Neapolitan coffee made by myself in the classic caffetteria napolitana, which after all is a nice combination: an Austrian offers a Neapolitan coffee in Lyon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first Modena CS Meeting, caressingly called MoMe. If you have not been there, you do not know what you have missed: lucky you! If you knew, you would presumably cry out loud for at least 2 hours and a half.

Interests

I am interested in music, literature and cinema. But I like to share the experiences, i.e. I prefer to go the theater, cinema and museum with another person.

And in order to clear my thoughts, I adore endurance sports like cross-country skiing and road-cycling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm, I like -let's say- electric-guitar-based music, beginning with Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and ending with Queens of the Stone Age and Strokes and less known bands like the German group Tocotronic and among the Italians CCCP (CSI), V. Brondi and the Afterhours. And although it is often considered country: I like Johnny Cash and Townes van Zandt. So to sum up: it should be direct and simple, I don't like baroque things.
Regarding literature it is the same: I prefer clear and straight language like Kafka, Orwell and recently Pasolini's novels (about his other work I cannot say much, alas).
Very recently I entered the comic-strip-world of Mafalda, the famous Argentinian girl; I like her very much and above all her friend Felipe.
