CURRENT MISSION

gap year(s) with lots of world travel :)

ABOUT ME

On the one hand side...
I studied social economics and linguistics in Vienna, Austria. Worked then as a scientific assistant on different international university projects, after that as a business consultant/data analyst for a small finance consulting company.

...and on the other hand side:
I quit in summer 2013 after years of work and study and travelled to Asia for 4 months. Back in Vienna I sold my furniture, ripped my cd collection and gave up my flat for much more world travel.

I do blog about it: http://ostkarten.net
