CURRENT MISSION

Working in China and saving enough money to buy a caravan

ABOUT ME

I am 24 years old now, and lived near Vienna in Austria. After I finished my community service at a emergency homeless shelter I decided to travel to South East Asia. I traveled there for about 7 months and then I started to work in China as an english teacher for small cute kids. I really enjoyed this job :) Right now I ususally live and host in Changsha, I live to gether with my girlfriend in a quiet area close to the university. we are working on establishing a Café at the moment. During travelling, I love to meet new people on my way, and continue it randomly. My travel plans are mostly inspired by people I met on my way. Hard to describe oneself. I would say I am a calm and relaxed guy, who love to discuss and talk about differences and things going on arround the world. I also really enjoy learning about and from other cultures. I am very flexible and always interested to try out new things.

PHILOSOPHY

--nothing lasts forever, and life changes so fast... you should live and enjoy the present.--
even tho sometimes it is very difficult for me to stick with that.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

.Dolphins in the Adriatic Sea, for someone like me hardly ever seeing the sea (Austria has no Sea ;) ), it was awsome to see these giant fish or more watermammals to follow our boat for about 10 minutes, jumping I guess a meter out of the water!

. Going the Grand Canion Down, spending the night at a tent near the Colorado River and going up again the next day.

. sailing about 2000 km from turkey to croatia
