CURRENT MISSION

making friends all over the world.. :)

ABOUT ME

well.. i guess i am one of these people who leave their country for a big trip around the world and come back as a different person in a very positive way..

as i am writing this, i am already on the road for 21 weeks and met with heaps of locals around the world and just can't get enough as i experience big change in my mind by quite every person i meet and get the chance to share ideas and views..

so for me traveling it is not anymore about the places
i see (that said as a traveling painter..) but about the people i meet on my way.

so if you're around and have time to meet,
please just leave a note and for sure we will
have a great time soon! =)

update:
back in Austria after a 5month-trip around the world..
but still couchsurfing from time to time.. even in my hometown Vienna.

fresh update:
started the "freie galerie" with some friends of mine to give other people a fair chance to show their art: www.freiegalerie.at
so please just drop us a line if you'd like to exhibit in Austria! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Have pride in all you are.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
