Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Trying to be the best version of myself and traveling to Berlin!
ABOUT ME
Actually I am quite confused, after one year of Erasmus which brought me to England and a crazy Summer University in the Netherlands with the AEGEE . I think that I just need to sober up a bit and to get used to 'real' life again. Although I finished my studies in 2013 it doesn't feel like I have neither really started, nor am I sure of having any specific career plans. Therefore new people, who make me familiar with new concepts of life styles and how to make a living out of it, have always inspired me.
For now, I enjoy cooking and baking for others and meeting interesting and warm-hearted people and get to know me better.
I am quite open to any kind of discussion and like unpredictable things to happen. I work full-time in a small IT-company as a project-manager and service owner, being a big fan of gin tonics and local ales.
So just come over and make up your own opinion about me :-p (i am not that objective anymore..)!
PHILOSOPHY
The limits of my language mean
the limits of my world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Yes, i am one of these people who heard about CS on the Austrian radio 2006 and i always kept the idea in mind that this unbelievable thing would work and so it did, it does and as long the spirit of generosity and the eager for exchanges and challenges will exist - it will never disappear.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Teach, Learn, Share
I know to make a damn good traditional regional dish, which are called Carinthian dumplings. In the original version it is named "Kärntner Kasnudl" and for you getting an idea of the pronunciation and taste will be part of my challenge :-) the dish is 100% vegetarian and fabulous :-)

Zumba Dance Moves, a Shisha, a delicious meal, a decent glass of red wine/gin/schnaps ;-), or a nicely brewed tea, piece of cake, quality time...
