I am Matthias born in the village of Horn (lower Austria) but grown up and still living in Vienna.

I am one of 7 kids and my family is very important to me. I found a wonderful job in what I wanted to do since I am a boy an meanwhile also have the opportunity to give my knowledge and experience to two students which work for me since 2017.

For those who know MBTI my type is INFJ. Just to cut a long story short. In general I am a person with an extroverted as introverted side. (at least for how people see me). I like to be spontaneous for a while but then like to come back to known schedules and calmer days. Until I want to learn something new again. I like reading although I mostly do it on holidays. Kind of like books with a psychological or philosophical thought to it. I do sports. (Still trying to get back my routine before CV19) but as it was I regularly did (hobby) Eishockey. Aerial Silk and Swimming.

I love food. Of whatever kind. And what I don’t know - I‘ll try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Don’t know it yet. Want to get new experiences and see what there is to find.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many amazing things I did. But I really can see the small wonderful things in something too. As a kind of collateral beauty even when things aren’t that well. - so what is it what I did ?..
Two examples:

I am a little scared of hight. Still I took a job for bungee jumping where I had to jump myself if no customers were around. So I did about 60 jumps.

I literally sat on a “small” mountain peak about 4500m in the Himalajas and went into myself as I took an important business decision.
