About Me
CURRENT MISSION:
Disfrutar la vida
ABOUT ME:
I'm a 36-years-old student of life from Austria. I live near Graz, the capital of the green heart of Austria Styria...
I think I'm a very easy going person, who like to meet other people from all over the world. To me it's very important to see many different countries and meet interesting people...
Since a few years I became really addicted to all the Chinese Martial Arts, health and philosophical staff. I am practicing Tai Chi Chuan, Qi Gong and Chinese Medicine - which is really GREAT. I can tell you a lot of these things and how they can help you in your daily life...
PHILOSOPHY
To have no plan what I'll do in future - that's my plan!!!
It used to work pretty good so far - just it's freaking out a little bit my family ;)
