About Me

CURRENT MISSION

doing a short but good trip around western Austria and Liechtenstein!

ABOUT ME

We are four friends, or at least will be at the end of the trip. So far three of us have got to know each other only during one page-setup-and-getting-to-know meeting.

We had a lot of fun there, though, and found out we like each other, so that`s good! We also like fun, doing new stuff, seeing new places, doing freakish things and getting to know other new, especially interesting people which is why we decided to surf a couch. Also, we wanted to save money.

Take a glance at the blurred profile pic! Thats how nice we are, really.

PHILOSOPHY

We havent had time to discuss that so far. Maybe each one of us should talk for herself or himself.

Daniel just today noticed again that if you want to cheer yourself up, laughing helps a lot. Which is often necessary as when I`m trying to study my Bio- and Environmental MGMT, there`s a lot that`s not interesting, yet I want to do it. First the rest is interesting, if not inspiring, then I want to make a difference when I`m done studying, let´s see how big a difference, and then I am just somewhat perfectionist and just want to do things well, everything if I can. But its totally important to see myself, others and the world chilled, though enthusiastic. So thats what I do =D

Since Joshi is unable at the moment to produce anything conrete, here are a few highly adaptable quotes that seem to work so well for couch surfing:
A towel (!) is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar (or earthbound) hitch hiker/couch surfer can have ~~
Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it ... but the longer you stay in the more wrinkled you get. ~~
An unsafe state is, of course, a state that is not safe. ~~

Isi just read the obove text and had to laugh at the quotes. That's what I do, I laugh. About pretty much everything, even if it's not funny, even about my own jokes, even about myself! Haha (<-- see what I mean?)
I think I usually see good things, even in wicked situations. I take it Isi. Lmao
