CURRENT MISSION

the journey is the reward - world tour within the peplosphere: by land and sea, without (jet) planes

ABOUT ME

all(!) about myself...i don´t like these kind of self-portrayals. most important (personal) informations are exchanged personally much, much better!
anyhow, i guess it is necessary here :-D

raised and lived in austria, close to the alps (but i didn´t start skiing before my early 20th!, so i guess this makes me not a typical austrian). school in upper austria (linz), university in vienna, 1 year exchange in seattle, USA. i love to study and learn new things but now after finishing my phd i´m also happy to leave university and get out to find a different job. but before i want to see more of our planet - i plan to travel for a year, but no pressure: if i don´t like it anymore to travel alone, i go back home and enjoy riding my motorbike through the austrian alps.

PHILOSOPHY

think by yourself, do not let others do it for you!
