CURRENT MISSION

Live the moment and share the experience.

ABOUT ME

I spend most of my time socializing, reading, writing, trying to find a meaning in life, and enjoying the fact that I have yet to find one. As such, I am quite open to different philosophies, cultures and ways of living, and enjoy discussing almost anything with anyone.
I work as a translator and interpreter whenever I can, and as an English teacher whenever I can't.

PHILOSOPHY

Make life enjoyable for myself and those around me - people before principles!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent two weeks couchsurfing in France before settling down there for some months... couldn't have asked for more, made great friends. Some came to visit me in Vienna - others said they would, and I'm still waiting.

Interests

I love traveling, where I generally try to spend a lot of time outdoors, preferably with company... Communication in all its forms is what I probably enjoy most in life, learning and using languages, meeting new people and old acquaintances to share a slice of life. I'm also quite keen on juggling, but any form of movement or sports will strike my fancy, especially anything unusual. I like going to concerts, festivals or other cultural events or just sitting outside somewhere enjoying the weather (no matter the weather). Food and drink are of course very important, I like cooking and having nice meals, and trying new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can never remember the titles of books or films... it terrible, I read a lot and like watching films, and I can usually recall doing so, but Names and Authors elude me... I really enjoy music, too, anything from Jazz, Classical to TeKno, jumping about to horrible 80s and especially 90s pop-trash or (especially Oldschool) HipHop, although I'm not overly keen on what they call hiphop today

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

5 weeks in Kenya - sadly my only trip outside of Europe to date, absolutely incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always eager to learn...languages, of course, are a professional habit of mine, but I generally enjoy finding out about stuff and experiencing things - even if you find you don't like something, finding out that you don't like it can be fun (or at least you'll have a good story to tell).
If you have any problems concerning English or German texts or the languages, or need a translation, I'm the guy to ask :) lot of experience with those two languages, and some basic French I am happy to teach juggling (beginners to very advanced) German, English or French, guitar or piano basics... and probably some other stuff I can't think of right now.
