About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world and meet heaps of interesting people on the way

ABOUT ME

Oh boy, where to start? Well, I'm currently living in Columbus, OH due to work reasons but will be heading home to Vienna (Austria, Europe) in a few months to finish my MBA there.

I tried out CS for the first time September 2008 and totally loved it. Met tons of cool new people and will surely do it again on my next roadtrip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend got me into this; did a roadtrip with him across the east coast of the US and was very positively surprised by our hosts. The best thing about CS is that you can associate a real (mostly very friendly) face to each city instead of an anonymous, standardized hotel/motel room.

Interests

I love witty conversations, reading (Stiglitz, Chomsky, Mohammad Yunus - generally anything that has to do with economics, politics or helps me understand why the world is the way it is), debating and sleeping in.

Hobby-wise, I like to play frisbee golf, drive around aimlessly, play table-tennis (I believe you call that ping-pong over here) and raquette ball; or just hanging out at home watching a flick, Southpark or anything alike.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes, please.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Risk-wise I am pretty open to do anything under the sun - already tried skydiving and aerobatics; bungee-jumping is still on the to-do list.

As far as seeing things, well, there are so many cool things out there to see and be amazed of, I couldn't just pick one of them. The deserts of Arabia, valleys of California, biking tracks in Austria and so many more places; overall, this little planet of ours is just a really cool place.
