CURRENT MISSION

studying philosophy in Paris this semestre

ABOUT ME

Usually I rather am a calm and hopefully easygoing person. I enjoy talking about literature, music, film, philosophical stuff and other interesting things of which there are, to me, quite many in life.

I also love nice aesthetically prepared and arranged foods and drinks, and of course, eating and drinking them. Wandering around the city or reading a book while sipping coffe is whqt I mainly do when travelling - besides learning the language by talking to people and studying grammar, that is.

That's very probably not all there is to tell about me, but it should give you a first impression of what I'm like and hopefully interest you in getting to know me better.

PHILOSOPHY

I have strong reasons to believe that philosophy should not be something "personal" but a matter of conflict and discussion - then it can also be very enjoyable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my studies to go and live abroad, which was pretty amazing for a year. I didn't pull it through though and returned to my safe and cosy hometown Vienna.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I love showing people stuff as well as learning something new, I would gladly help people with learning the languages I know by conversation or by explaining some grammatical concepts. Also I know auite a lot about Freudian psychoanalysis and critical theory, about which I'd love to talk to whoever is interested.
