About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing everything there is to see :)

ABOUT ME

I´m an expert sleeper - i once fell asleep inside a narrow passage in a cave when the person before me got stuck. So however uncomfortable you think your couch/floor/collection of cacti is - i can manage.

However, I try not to spend to much time asleep. When I´m awake I enjoy any activity that can take place outside :)

I´ve lived in Vienna for the past 7 years, but I still get lost a lot, so I´m definitely not the person to show you around. However, I might be someone to discover the city with in teamwork :) If you stay with me or I stay with you I am very happy to cook with/for you. Just be warned that I don´t ever use recipes :)
During carneval and halloween I go crazy with my costumes if I have the time to do so. If you´re into this too, you´re very welcome to join me (or let me join you).

Teach, Learn, Share
