"This is your life. Do what you love and do it often."- Holstee Manifesto

I love nothing more than a good adventure. I like to leave room for surprises. I love dancing and I try to believe 6 impossible things before breakfast.

PHILOSOPHY
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." Gandhi

"Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has." (Margaret Mead)

"Smile at a stranger. See what happens." (Patti LuPone)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A little surfing in San Francisco and more recently in Graz, Austria.

Interests

Lately I've been learning to sail and getting into bouldering. I'm only a beginner but I think I'm hooked. I recently moved to Vienna and there are so many amazing cultural events to go to and the museums are incredible. I'm also polishing up my public speaking skills at Toastmasters.

Right now I'm very into learning more about User Experience and Interaction Design in the space of science communication.
