CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around the world by hitchhiking and tramping whenever i have free time.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 21-year-old Austrian who found his love for travelling to other countries through scuba-diving in Croatia and Egypt. I started to enjoy experiencing the arabic world by staying in Morocco, Egypt and Sudan for a few weeks, and will be there again this April.

Some of my future destinations will hopefully include India, Mali, Uganda, South East Asia and Scandinavia.

I study chemistry in Graz, Styria.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a huge variety of music genres and love all types of musical styles in general, so i guess it would be a pretty long list. At the moment, i enjoy relaxing artists like Glen Hansard, Dan Mangan and Bon Iver.

There is a lot of literature to list as well, the past three books i've read are True Grit by Charles Portis, The Discovery of Slowness by Sten Nadolny and The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund the Waal.

My favorite movies are The Big Lebowski, Old Boy, Fight Club and of course The Lion King.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The dives in Austria with only 11 degrees water temperature, decreasing to 4 degrees in 50+ meters depth. This was the point where it all wasn't casual diving anymore.

And every time on stage, presenting self-composed music to up to 3000 people in the audience was overwhelming.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have a lot of experience when it comes to traveling, but so far i learned most from comfortless journeys. People who traveled with only a small amount of comfort, including myself, are way more relaxed and serene, which counts a lot i think.
