About Me

I just arrived in Taipei on the 25 of July and I'll live here for the next 6 month to come. Maybe more, it has been great so far.

I will have my own place in Da'an from the 5 of August. But until then it'd be great if you guys can help me to get to know this great city better.

Hi guys!

Sorry for not hosting much lately, I haven't had my own place in the last three years! I'll make up for it in the future. For now, thanks for all the people who are still considering to host me :-)

I am a (crazy) Austrian lad studying, working online and traveling the world. I am currently studying in Hong Kong and will move to the U.S. in august before going back to Copenhagen, Denmark to finish my degree. I am a VERY open-minded person and LOVE to meet new people of different backgrounds. I travel as much as I can.

Interests: Traveling, reading (primarily non-fiction), watching movies (love going to the cinema), more or less all sports, business (in particular the tech-industry and start-ups). I also love to go out for drinks, dance and meeting people.

At last, living for 2 years in the happiest country on earth + being brought up in the city with the highest quality of life, I am stereotypically a very optimistic person trying to see the positive in everything. No matter how bad, missing a flight or getting into a serious traffic accident, there is always something positive that you can make a laugh out of. SMILE and be happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually always travel with friends but I have always wanted to try out traveling alone. Now is the time and Couchsurfing is, of course, amazing for this.

Thus, I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people on my trip, locals or expats, and hear your stories, hopefully spent some time with you going out, visiting some sights and talking like crazy about life, traveling, dreams and past experiences.

Whenever I get back to Denmark and get myself a new place, I hope to be able to host fellow couch surfers and show them (potentially you) what Copenhagen has to offer. Or even Vienna the city which introduced the chocolate cake (sacher torte).

For now though, I need YOU so we can put smiles on each others faces!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share a hell lot of fun together and I got plenty of travel experiences to share. Tips on Europe and Asia mainly.

I hope to hear yours just as much though so I can learn something new.

Basically, talk with me about Philosophics I can tell you about the German great thinkers and the current "Zeitgeist" in Europe.
About classical music from Vienna, cakes, coffee and what makes Vienna such a fantastic city to live in.

Oh yeah. Bonus: I can tell you about Denmark and the Scandinavian societies who are praised like crazy in politics.
