ABOUT ME

It's hard to describe oneself. Well, I think, I'm spontaneous, open-minded, tolerant, sometimes a bit impatient,(Russia taught me to keep patience, however....). I like "adventures", meeting new people (as well as "old friends" of course;) listening to their background-stories, philosophies, plans and so on......

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, so just enjoy it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show you around Salzburg, we can have coffee or a drink together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I surfed in France (Vichy, Aix-en-Provence, Paris,)in Bolzano, in Prague, through Russia (Vladivostok, Ulan Ude, Krasnojarsk and Moskow) Chile (Santiago, La Serena, Antofagasta, Temuco) and Hungary (Budapest). It was a really great experience. Thanks, by the way,to all the guys whom I met and with whom I lived in those days:)

Interests

mmmm....different countries and cultures in general, Russia (language, people and culture), France (the same)in particular; travelling, get to know various cultures, lifestyles, people, listening to music (don't ask me for my favourite style, I'm actually collecting songs of different countries, I prefer the variety;), reading (only sometimes and often quite chaotic-sometimes I start 5 books at the same time, not finishing a single one....), sport:jogging, inline-skating, skiing, swimming+lying at the pool (it's actually not sport),hiking,teaching foreigners "austrian"-german":) ......

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- bathing in a siberian river on January 18th: -30 degrees outside, water-temperature: +2
- bathing in a siberian river for the 2nd time on January 18th: -28 degrees outside (but then I was already "used to")
- go swimming before sunset in Nice (and see the rise of the sun in water)
- a heavy rainfall on the top of a mountain
- parachuting in Siberia (2 hours instruction, then everyone can jump on his own)
- rope-jumping from a bridge, also in Siberia and three times at once (it was an offer ;)
