About Me

Check out my blog about Vienna @ www.vienna365.com

CURRENT MISSION

getting better in what i do (photgraphy / film) see the world

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Vienna, after 21 years living there I moved to Salzburg to study Digital Television - after that I went to Southampton - United Kingdom - studying Film & Photography as an Erasmus student for a year. After that i did an Internship in Dubai for 6 months and my final project as well for another 2 months.
Now uni is over which feels a lil bit frightening :)
I always traveled a lot starting with my parents who ar e both teachers and so had a lot of free time in summer. Later I went on an Interrail trip through southwestern Europe with some friends, and also some trips together with my sister and our volkswagon bus.
I love to travel but never without my camera, see the world - the universe maybe one day.
I'm a open minded, down-to-earth & curious person sometimes a little reserved or quiete but not in a negative way and i enjoy watching, my surroundings, people whatever i find interesting.

I'm a non smoker but sometimes smoke (but never ready done cigarettes unless someone rolled it for me ;))
I'm not a vegetarian but i love vegetarian food

PHILOSOPHY

"no borders, no nations, no gods - just natural "chaos" and one planet inside - UNITE!!!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New York City - walking around its streets from dawn till dusk and vice versa
Seeing the immense contrast from Chinas huge and rich cities to its pure wide but also poor countryside.
Dubai... city of contrast... rich vs poor.
