After some time, I'm finally back on couch surfing!

I'm an open minded and curious person. I'm looking for new experiences and try to change the world a little. That last part is also the reason for all my volunteering. My current main volunteering is in the Austrian Student Union, where I occupy different positions, spanning from math student representation, gender equality to queer rights. Beside my task at university I also study there math.

I'm currently taking actions to shift my focus from math to either diversity managment (which is most of my volunteering about) or to innovation (which is one of my old focus areas). Though it might seem odd after math studies, I see an advantage in both. I'm also happy with my choices, so I don't do it out of regret, but rather to take my own path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all because I love the concept (well here is my math side talking, always about abstract and theoratical stuff... ;) ).
Secondly I like to meet new people, exchange ideas, experience more, simply living an colorful live. (There we go, my other half :) )

Interests

I would say, I'm driven by three things: theoretical interest, taking action and relive.
I like to go over theoretical, abstract and philosophical stuff. I enjoy arguing, exchanging ideas, learning...
I also like to take action in causes I want to contribute in. They might change as do the actions I take, but they most likely link to social justice, equality, human rights,... I tell you, a lot of my time goes here, more than I sometimes should invest, but beside the meaning of it, I really enjoy it. So be it as it is.
And to the last group of interests, from time to time I need an escape from the world. Reading, sports, walks, games, ... all of those are my way to gain energy back.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not very set on many things. I can enjoy different types of movies, books or other kinds of story telling. At the moment I like (not exclusively) science fiction, not for it's action, but the ideas it sparks, the slight difference in reality, that great a new world to explore and the opportunity to learn something for ours.
So, you want to meet someone odd, someone that can live without music? Well here I am, on my own I don't listen to music, out sure, and I can enjoy it too, but I never acquired a taste for it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English in Tajikistan. A truely amazing experience and one I didn't see coming. Just two moths before I went there, I came across this opportunity and I had to take it or I wouldn't have been able to do it at all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer an exchange of ideas.
In Graz I can give a tour, telling wired stories about historical places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experience, stories, a meal, my time...
