ABOUT ME

Rita: studied film and literature, finished last year and just came back from an amazing trip through Asia and Australia. Works for a film production company and for a famous open air cinema in Vienna. Therefore loves cinema and literature. But only the good stuff of course. Loves cooking, laughing and living. Also being in the nature, travelling, meeting people and green tea.

Tobias: hardworking maths student - despite the maths a communicative and loveable guy. Just came back from an exchange semester in Stockholm. Next to maths he likes sports (karate, tennis, football and everything including a ball), eating, playing the drums, having a good time with friends and black tea.

PHILOSOPHY
