hm, hard to say. i like meeting people, listening to their stories, discussing with them. but sometimes i prefer sitting in nature and staring at river (or being in my room and staring at the ceiling) and thinking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i first discovered the concept of cs when i hosted three students from another university during a common, one week long workshop concerning a theater-festival. we had a lot of fun and i enjoyed to show them vienna, the city i lived in and which was new to them. my first experiences with cs were besides this platform. i profited so much from them that i decided to join the cs-platform. and to be honest i also needed a room in a city where i knew nobody :)

Interests

reading, reading, reading. i'd say i read a lot for many years of my life. but now since a meet many people i have not that much time left for reading. so i prefer to hang out with my friends, or get to know new people, making new friendships.
besides a social life and fictional books: bicycles, philosophy, politics, lgbtiaq* and so on ...
