ABOUT ME

i like taking my time. easygoing.
walking pace.
i love rain, thunderstorm and lightning.
the bright sound of melting snow dripping into the gutter.
the smell of horses, wood and hyacinths.
i wear hoodies.
my cat is named "flauschi" which means fluffy.
she lives at my mum's house.
i admire cats for their charm.
i grew up in southern styria, austria. we have lots of wine here.
my father was a teacher for history and maths.
i'm very interested in history and culture, but i never warmed to maths.
my mum is a painter. she took me along to painting courses when i was a little girl.
i love bright shining colors and feel deeply touched by sunbathed stained-glass windows.
swimming in the sea while it reflects the light of sunset feels like a perfect dream.
i'm rapt with the beauty of broad acres and vast regions.
i'm still waiting for the right moment for watching kubricks 2001: space odyssey.
i'm fascinated by deserts.
i love wide-angle photos.
i love stones.
i'm vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

love the idea of this international travelling network.

Centres d'intérêt

i wished i had more space for tinkering with natural materials, but the day will come when i find a small house to renovate and furnish. painting is a good way to relax my mind, too. travelling, camping, hiking, listening to music, reading, finding out more about whatever interests me at the time.
a game which never gets me bored is good old chess.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

precious moments? i can really appreciate silence sometimes. (which is hard to find anyway)
i see myself as a lucky person, because even when life thwards my plans, mostly something exciting or life-enriching happens instead.
like the dalai lama said, 'remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.'
