CURRENT MISSION

finding a good reason why to return to vienna.

ABOUT ME

i used to be a videogame-programmer for 6 years. i started hating it.. working with computers..grrr..

so after two years of preparation i managed to get accepted into vienna's academy of fine art. a student again, how lucky!

from january-summer 2008 i live in nantes, western france, and in between travel to london/ny, and am thinking about travelling south america this summer - let's see what will come up next.

you can contact me via christian.bazant@gmail.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

once back in vienna, my couch will be available. wonderful flat as well. my room in nantes is just, well, one room. too small i think! ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

the people i met through cs were incredibly nice. made me feel very humble. people you've never seen before all of a sudden are friendlier than oh so many other people in your life. a strange, yet great experience.

Interests

life. everything in it, everything done with passion.

communication, on so many levels; whether verbal or not; i play the piano, guitar, electric bass; i paint, draw, ..

i love red wine and cheese, and accompanied by silence or an interesting discussion it can be even better.

Music, Movies, and Books

time travellers wife i think.
so many of philip roths books.

everyday zen, by joko beck, always is with me when travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

erawan waterfalls in thailand.
iceland.
waterfalls in croatia.

i love water.

actually in my home town, a place called "baden", 20km from vienna, there is an area called "helenental", and it is one of the most beautiful places on this world to me.

other than that: with luck and dedication i managed to get away from working full time. i'm proud of that :)
now i'm studying fine art, and life has become more complicated in that it is more existential.. which is good ;)

Teach, Learn, Share
