About Me

CURRENT MISSION

getting really good at my passion for writing, loving life and seeing the world

ABOUT ME

I'm very open minded and love to meet new people from all over the world. I just finished University and started my new job in a startup company in Vienna called Pioneers. We're all about new technology, entrepreneurship and global networking.
In the past year I've lived in London to finish my thesis and kept travelling back and forth between there and Vienna after. Before I've spent a year abroad in the South of France studying. Both are counting to the best experiences of my life. That's why I neet to continue travelling, seeing the world, getting to know different cultures and connect with as many people as possible.
I've studied literature, film and media but ended up in the fascinating world of future technology.

PHILOSOPHY

don't take yourself and others too serious and enjoy life
Reality is arbitrary - create your own

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Endlessly curious and investigative, I love travelling, exploring new cultures and meeting new people!
I think we need to connect more with each other, help each other to live in a world together. I love how global everything is becoming and how easy it is to connect nowadays. I want to use those possibilities to their full potential. I work in a very international environment. I have hosted many people from abroad before and usually learned something new and exciting and vice versa. Let's help and learn from each other!

Interests

I love nature and the wilderness and am currently set on a mission to explore the world in that manner. I love hiking and trekking and would love to see the Himalayas soon and meeting many interesting people on the way.

In my more civilized live I have a great passion for writing and alternative, crazy fashion. Currently I'm thinking about creating my own magazine and becoming somewhat of an entrepreneur myself.

As a literature major, I still love to read a lot, mostly realistic books about life. I am very curious in other people's stories hence my passion for journalism.

Recently I've been explored a previously unknown interest in technology and the startup world in Berlin where I've lived until recently.

There, I loved partying (who wouldn't:)), swimming in numerous lakes and watching lots and lots of good films on rainy autumn days.
