I live in Graz, a small city in Austria. It is populated by a lot of students, it has some wonderful parks and woods around and you can get everywhere by bicycle. Especially in summer Graz is great, it has some sort of mediterranean atmospere.
I love to go climbing in the surroundings of the city. You don't have to go far to find suitable rocks for that purpose.
I work in a school, as a climbing teacher and as a photographer. I'm into visual arts, especially photography and movies. I like to discover unknown places, especially with my camera, enjoy the sun and some wine :)
