ABOUT ME

All about me? There's not enough space here. And self-description never compares to getting to know someone by talking and spending time with him / her. I'll still try though :)
(The references have become a better description about me though, I recently recognized)

Where to start? Well, you probably understand a person well by his passions. Mine are pretty wide ranged. Too wide ranged I often think since I know I can't satisfy them all at the same time.
I love making connections where there were none before and within my heart, I'm a pioneer.
I'm working on becoming it in real life as well. Regardless of the area. Just creating new things, yeah, That's the stuff!
I am getting bored very quickly by repeating dull patterns and I am avoiding this in things likes jobs and free time as much as possible.

What I simply love is mixing up things which weren't supposed to be mixed together and creating something new by this. That's progress.
And also a reason for my two studies, IT and Philosophy, which seem to be really distinct on the first glance, but on the second, they go together extremely well. Because of the balance it gives me. I'm a bit of a computer geek, yup, but I like to get away from the computer very much as well and experience things which you couldn't do in front of one.

I also love Science Fiction and fantasy and I've finally managed to develop my hobby of writing science fiction stories to a regular pattern. Mostly I'm doing it simply to experiment and to get the ideas out of my head to give it a rest (which every person with a creative character knows. Am I right?).
Same for drawing which I do just a little bit (as you can see from my profile pic).

Since recently, I also started blogging at TEDxVienna. Luckily in english, so you can check out my articles here:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In September 2012, I've finally been to chernobyl and the abandoned ghost-town of pripyat.
This was a big goal for me for a long time alreadyand an amazing experience. To walk through the ruins of a former 80,000 peoples city, trees overgrowing former houses, hospitals, schools etc. Mind-blowing.

Other than that I have also been to Objekat 505, which is an abandoned underground airport of the former yugoslavian army in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yes. underground airport. It was working as a bunker for more than 80 planes inside a mountain, spanning a network of tunnels for around 4 km.

Both of these things you can see in my album.

I can show you how to prepare austrian dishes if you teach me recipes of your country.
