Couch Information


     << CouchSurf with Anton Pirker!    

Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: No

It's an fairly big eighties-style couch. It is an bed-couch so you can pull it out so you get a king-size bed large enough for two people. The couch is in our living room. It's all yours during your stay. I you like you can lock the door. (But in general if the door is closed then no one of the apartment will disturb you)

I live in a huge apartment with four friends. Its a apartement with two floors. On every floor we have a roof-deck, great for hanging out on!

The apartment is just one metro station away from vienna's main train station located in the 7. district, a great district for going out and seeing stylish design-stuff ;)

CouchSurfing Experience

in summer of 2005 i met a guy in the train to stockholm. he let us surf his couch right after 5 minutes of talk, it was one of the craziest experiences, because he brought us to a friend of him an we stayed there till 5 in the morning, listening to danish music and drinking a lot of danish beer ;)

Interests

try out new stuff, see new places and meet new people. i like good movies, hang out with nice people and discovering the world around me

Philosophy

Right now my philosophy for live is "just do what you want" somehow i feel i will be successful with it. if you do what you love to do, you will do it good, so you will manage to live by it. (=get paid for it)

Music, Movies, Books

oh man. a lot of different stuff. movies which are not predictable. music mostly hip-hop but more and more rock (discovered AC/DC! great stuff!) or elektro or other stuff. in the last view week i am more into funk music. quite great to dance to ;) i also like to read some books. one of the funniest books i have ever read was "around ireland with a fridge"

Types of People I enjoy

people that take them selfes not to serious, which laugh a lot and are funny, spontaneous and also a little bit wacky like myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

i could teach a lot of programming. and also cooking some traditional austrian meals, although i am not the best cook on earth, but i keep trying.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

the most amazing thing i have seen was the lyse-fjord in norway. norway is definetly one of the most beautiful places on the world (from that view places i have seen of this really nice planet)

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

one of the best things the internet is useful for so far!

Anton is a person that you like from the first minute you meet him. So kind and easy going guy that showed us great places in his city. Even though we were his first surfers he made us feel at home right a way and is a wonderful host that really wants to make your stay perfect. Hopefully we see eachother soon again and he will always be welcome at our places.
