About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my PhD

ABOUT ME

I´m a rather outgoing person ... bla ... Looking forward to meeting you (-:

PHILOSOPHY

The thing about studying philosophy is that you end up not being able anymore to just break down the whole story to just one sentence or "essence". My own kind of "deconstructivist" approach would be something like: Turning around till everything is so confused and mixed up that there is no sense in trying to understand it any longer- and then enjoy it... However, the philosopher I most identify with so far is probably Anthony Appiah and his view on cosmopolitanism - an interesting read!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I like to travel and visit other people a lot, they often return me the favor. Although originally not being from this city, thanks to all these visitors meanwhile I have become quite a skilled Vienna city guide(-:

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed couches all over Europe, in South America, twice in Australia, and three times in the US. Couchsurfing has mostly been a very positive experience for me. Of course I have also hosted people at my place.
