I'm generally calm but motivated, not the best at smalltalk- but really good at other talk! - and open for (almost) everything.

I like failing and don't really care if something doesn't work out the way I planned it - improvising is fun.

I've tried a lot of things, from studying languages, biomedical engineering and physics to working in process engineering and night shifts in two institutions for the criminally insane.

My favorite sport is bouldering, or rock climbing, and my favorite food is anything as long as it's a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, getting to know new perspectives, and ideally I want to not only get a place to sleep out of this.

Right now I'm looking at universities in Europe to do my masters at, so I try to combine travel with getting to know some locals and students! I want to get some inside knowledge about the unis, the life, culture and so on.

Interests

I'm addicted to learning and reading, creating things and solving hard problems.

I used to make a lot of music and art, which kind of dwindled over the years, however I really want to rekindle that flame.

Also, coffee. It's among the top three most important things in my life.

• books
• cooking
• bouldering
• jazz
• piano
• sports
• rock climbing
• mathematics
• physics
• science

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Tom Waits, some old school metal and hard rock, lots of different indie stuff and different kinds of old music. Basically everything.

I also LOVE live jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was nineteen I took responsibility over a lot of people's lives. I didn't realize that when I worked there, but I learned how to care for someone else under intense psychological pressure, and I painfully had to accept the humanity in the worst of the worst. Not a fun story, but I promise there were some hilarious stories in that time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn absolutely anything!
In exchange I can talk a lot about my interests, for days and days, if someone is actually interested. :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm quite decent at bouldering (~6c,7a), so if you want, I can be a decent bouldering partner! Also I could make Austrian breakfast. Or regular breakfast. Or no breakfast at all.
