ATTENTION!!!!!! I´m ON WORLD TRAVEL FROM JAN1st2015 until MAY2015

I´m already in pension, in my jobs I was teacher of English,German, Arts and Crafts
for 40 years...my second job was working as a musician and sound engineer partly even with famous austrian artists.....during my really extended school holidays I used to visit a lot of different countries....I´m very interested in ethnology, archeology , arts and nature...and of course music....
...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

the main reason is to get into normal contact with locals and natives.....hotels are too formal for me.... the second reason is , that I´m not rich, due to my pension from the Austrian state ...but I have enough money...so I will never need other people´s financial support....

Interests

COMMUNICATION with people who think different as a result of their different way of being brought up and their education........ ethnology, archeology , arts and nature...and of course music....
I am an experienced scuba diver.....visited many of the most interestig diving sites in the tropical belt and worked as a diving instructor in our Austrian mountain lakes
