About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Studying in Tbilisi for one Semester (till end of February). Also I'm travelling around the caucasian countries a bit and wanna meet people everywhere and have a good time :-) Unfortunately though I can't really take couchsurfers in, unless you bring any sort of own matress.. 😅

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the bavarian country side and naturally fell in love with the mountains. That's why I chose to move to beautiful Tyrol, Austria to study. Though I only lived there part time, the other times I (mostly accompanked by friends) live in my beloved red racing van called Napoleon. It's perfect for the lots of climbing/skiing/mountaineering trips I/we do in the Alps. Which is also my favourite hobby (mountaineering, mot necessarely sharing a small car with two other smelly guys for weeks 😄).
When I don't hide out in the mountains I love to travel in other countries and experience different cultures. For me travelling is mostly about getting to know the new culture, new people and the food. Really the food is always a big deal - I love eating and tasting new things :-D My number one priority in life is having fun and enjoying what I do. I'm really easy going and don't need much to feel comfortable. When I'm with others I'm really into discussing political / social topics and exchanging different view points on that.

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about the fun
