About Me

I am a postdoc in theoretical physics at the Vienna University of Technology. I enjoy making and listening to music and traveling. I like meeting people with a different view on life so I can adjust mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I became a member of CS right before embarking on a 2,5 month roadtrip through the US (From NYC to San Fransisco) with two of my best friends. We couchsurfed a lot on that trip, which turned out to be the best way to get to know the locals and find out the best things about American life. Now I occasionally host and I think couchsurfing is awesome.

Interests

Music is my passion. I played in the psychedelic-doom rock formation Mühr, which combines slow, heavy rock riffs with psychedelic guitars and vocals.

Interests on a more intellectual level is physics. But I also have a profound love of philosophy, which I also studied at the university. I'm a general science enthusiast; I love hearing about fascinating studies into the world around us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is too much to list, bring some of your own so we can search for similarities in music-taste! Most people tell me I'm into weird music, but I don't think so; it's not weird, it's just different.

Movies; I'm a fan of the work of: Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Lars von Trier, The Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, and actually so much more...

I usually enjoy music and movies if there's some kind of edge to it, not the straight forward stuff, but something which makes it a little bit different then all the rest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While driving a car from NYC to San Fransisco I've seen/done countless amazing things.
Also cruising through Rajasthan, India with my best friend left some impressions!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you math and physics! If that doesn't get you excited then what will ;)

I'm open to learn everything I don't know.
