Personal Description

I like to learn a little each day, whatever it might be...
A big dream would be to go around earth by bike, without any help of a machine and experience many incredible countries, people, landscapes and all our planet has to offer... I was born in Vienna, but i am quite shure that i will not be here all my life. I like everything creative, from music or drawing or anything else. Since my childhood i was always a big friend of nature and animals..

I love making music. Sometimes i am just playing guitar, sometimes i make electronic music fused together with real instruments.

you can check MY MUSIC out on:

How I Participate in CS

I want to help people who are interested to get a good feeling about the place they visit. Normally i am not too much interested to take you to the tourist spots, (i still suggest you visit them, but i wont go with you) so i am much more interested to take you out to see some very nice places in and around vienna, for example the lake in the city just 15min from my place, or the hills to see vienna from the air (maybe at sunrise).. See the pictures!!

Interests

Music, Nature, Cycling, far away Coultures, Languages, Everything on our planet is interesting, Sports

Philosophy

life is a wonder

Music, Movies, Books

Life is a wonder - a very great serbian? movie nobody knows.. The alchemist... Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.. Saint Exupery... and good music... i have sooo much unbelievable good music, most of all which is not too common, so most people never heard it before....

Types of People I enjoy

I enjoy openminded people who give me the feeling they like me as i am.. Or people who can be happy even though their life is everything else than perfect.. And i enjoy very much if people are simple but satisfied.. Most of the time i get these feelings described above when visiting non western countries.. i like people who have a good sense of humour, who can make me laugh, people who try to make a difference... People who spend a lot of energy and time to get some extraordinary skills.. i

Teach, Learn, Share

This, you have to find out... If you find something what you might want to learn or know about, i will be very happy to share it... In Australia once a korean guy said to me that he can now see nature and our earth as something very special.. That was a big compliment for me.. Someday i would like to teach this to many people...

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Cycling in different parts of the world...
Experiencing people who struggle for their basic needs, but who are willing to share everything they have and who are far more welcoming than our western coulture..

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

I had the easiest hitch ever with Andi. We stood 10 min by the road in Vienna and picked up with one of his friend. We had a very nice journey together to Salzburg. He is a nice and calm person.

Meeting Andi was a great experience, he is a warm hearted person, has travelled extensively and has the hearts for Africa. He has an interesting world view and definitely worth knowing he will add to your experience in a positive way no matter what. He also taught me a bit of guitar for which I'm grateful!

I liked the passion he has for Indonesia -and cultures of the world in general, he shares with me,
I liked his love for life mindset,
