About Me

Hiho, and Moin!
I love to be active and in motion. But sometimes it is wise to take a rest. In those gaps I take my time and try to calm down a bit. I like places where I can be myself, not someone else or play a role, just to be liked. The question, whether I am a mountain lover or a beach lover is quite hard for me. Maybe, that sums it up best. I am both - can't really decide which one I am. Sometimes I am fine, being the one, sometimes not. But is it really important?! ^^'

UPDATE: Somehow I am not verficated anymore... I was...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had some quite good experiences in India. Besides CS, I experienced the hospitality of different persons. During my journey in the United States (2month), Mexico (3month) and Guatemala (1/2month) we met so many cool, interesting people. All are different, with different hobbies, thoughts and lifestyles. It was so great to have a glimp in their daily life and plunge their daily grind into chaos :D!
In the future, I will have a home myself (hopefully) and will give other young people the opportunity to stay at my place !!

UPDATE: I will have my own flat in Vienna from October :) Soooo, I will be able to host!!

Interests

I like a variety of sports, and love to learn new ones as well as new skills. In stressful situations or when I fell comfortable I play the guitar. I love to experience (see, smell, breath) new adventures and love to be in motion.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fantasy (Shadow Trilogy!, The Drawes, The Albae, Sonea, Eragon, The Witcher Books) but at the moment I try out German classic (The Life of a No-Good!, The Sandman, Krabat!), Brave new World

I like espacially rock music, because it fits to every mood (hard rock, soft rock, classic, psychodelic rock)
Besides I do really like Reggea, Lofi-Beats, Techno and when I am studying classic

Reservoir Dogs, Hitchhiking Guide, Shutter Island, Moving Castle, Spirited Away, The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I lived one year in an Indian host family. The time there was just amazing!
- Hitchhiked from time to time, great feeling especially in the back of a truck
- Climbed 7 vulcanos in 7 day, made 7500 m in altitude and slept under the stars with an active, lava-spitting vulcano next to me
- Spent 7 days on Chios (Greece) only hiking, hitchhiking and wildcamping
- Coming home, everytime a bit strange but nice
