About Me

CURRENT MISSION

At the moment, I'm finishing my thesis and planning where to move to start my training as a general practitioner.. tough choice!

ABOUT ME

I am a medical student in Vienna (Austria), and I love and enjoy my time as a student. I guess, I am a friendly and helpful guy, interested in other peoples stories and experiences. I like a good cup of coffee and a good conversation partner. I don't really party very hard, but I know how to have a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

I think, it is important to pay attention to our planets limited resources. We all want to have this beautiful planet for our whole life and we also want to share it with our kids and grandkids...
When it comes to people, I think friendship is the most important aspect of life. I don't care for valuables, I need good people to talk to and have fun with, that's when I'm the happiest. I don't like too big groups, though..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My apartment is too small for anyone to stay here (I have only one small room and a kitchen), but I can show you around Vienna, when I'm there and hang out! As soon as I will be able to afford a bigger apartment, I want to host people as well!

Interests

Right now, the thing I enjoy most is Photography, but I also play the piano and dance to all kinds of music ;) I try to volunteer for different causes and thereby raise concern for topics like the nuclear danger or the problem of small arms in civil war zones in Africa, Asia or South America.
Seeing the sights is only a tiny part of what I want to see from a place I travel to. If I have to choose, I'd rather meet the people from that city or country, than seeing all the sights there are.
I spend a lot of my time on my bike, because I just love the kick that I get out of it. It's healthy, it's fast and it's environmentally friendly - what more could you want?!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jazz music, not crazy free Jazz, but instrumental jazz with piano and strings. I love all kinds of acoustic guitar music and I use music generally to relax and enjoy life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the scariest moments on travels was, when an elephant mother charged at me in Wayanad, South India. Even though I was very careful and held my distance, she obviously felt threatened... Luckily the car wasn't too far away!
Trekking in the Himalayas in Nepal was amazing. This was where I realized how much I love being out there in nature and how little we are, compared to those giant mountains.
Seeing how life in the wilderness in Borneo, Malaysia happens, showed me, what we really need in life. Animals are so beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm a vegetarian and love spending time in the kitchen, I'm happy to share healthy recipes and cook with anyone who's interested.
