About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm learning to smell unsecured wifi...

ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student at the University of Canterbury but also make wine part time. I'm kindof geeky, becuase I belong to a film club. Producing food and cooking is my latest obsession.

PHILOSOPHY

It only changes when I travel. When I'm at home, I find that it is not challenged enough.

I think I am an anti-Utopian today.

Discovering a personal morality is a private undertaking and is its own reward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing has pretty much passed me till recently. I met a lot of friends from the couchsurfing commnunity in Wien and I love showing people around because it means that I learn to look at my surroundings with new eyes and greater appreciation.

Interests

I like wine, food, drawing, photography, studying, reading, traveling, hiking. The rest of the time, I have to earn money to make these things possible.
