Taking a break from hosting. Willing to make an exception for Ukrainians and eventually for couchsurfers who are not just looking for a place to drop off their stuff ... but mostly for Ukrainians.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To offer a safe space.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to the radio (oe1.orf.at) every day, all day when I´m at home (when I´m not watching the news or a movie)

music: Johann Sebastian Bach, Rammstein, Richard Wagner, Ganna Gryniva

books: "Radetzkymarsch" by Joseph Roth, "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, anything written by Johann Wolfgang (von) Goethe, Taras Schewtschenko and Lesya Ukrajinka. Lately I've been blown away by Dimitré Dinev's "Zeit der Mutigen" and hope there'll be an English translation available soon.

movies: documentaries

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosting way more than a thousand people (since September 2008) - from kids as young as 18 months (and their mothers and/or fathers) to people in their 70ies - taught me a lot (about myself). Met amazing filmmakers at the Viennale- and "This Human World"-film festivals.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything and everything we´re able to teach, learn and share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Living space, food, time (for conversation, sightseeing tours, hikes or small excursions). I'm the host I'd like to stay with.
