About Me

CURRENT MISSION

try to do one thing each day that scares me / catch clouds / digging in soils / enjoy time with friends /

ABOUT ME

With the age of 15 I began an apprenticeship as a Mechanical Engineer (specialisation in Airplane engine testing). After a succsefull graduation I knew that this cannot be my future...
Because of that I started a Bachelor study in Zurich as an Environmental Engineer, and in addition I did Erasmus in Vienna for one semester.
I'm still not satisfied and will soon begin a Master study at the same topic at the University of Copenhagen for 2011/12.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do everyday something, that scares you!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

More inactive than active but still always open for a coffee or a beer or a guest for my couch.
Like to meet people around the world and share the same interests. Get to know new cultures, mentalities, habits...
See you soon hopefully!
