ABOUT ME

Originally I'm from the countryside in Upper Austria, but currently living in Vienna with my girlfriend Dani.

I'm a passionate cyclist. Also I'm playing saxophone in a local band in Upper Austria, where we play a kind of traditional Austrian music. Moreover (if there is any time left) I'm trying to play didgeridoo.
Also I'm collecting vinyl records und like to discover new music.

ABOUT US

We are an openminded couple, which likes travelling (preferably to non-touristic places/countries). There, we love to meet people from all over the world and get to know their way of living.

We like beeing outdoors, playing tennis, go hiking and riding our bikes as well as visiting concerts and comedy shows.
But we also enjoy a lazy day at home with pizza and ice cream (!) on the couch.😉

ABOUT DANI

Dani is from the countryside in Upper Austria as well. She's a kindergarten teacher, likes to cook (vegetarian) and bake as well as doing yoga and beeing creative in any kind.
She speaks a little bit of Spanish.
