One of the many things I love about travelling is that you become more open in every respect as you get to know new people and places - and this is a great feeling. There is no better and more satisfying experience in the world than travelling, and I feel very privileged that I have the means to do that (even if it's never enough ;).

Personally, I have studied astronomy in Vienna and then did my postgraduate degree at Cambridge University. Aged 25, I found out that in being fulfilled, my dream of working as an astronomer was no dream anymore, so I wanted to change jobs. I became a music journalist and interviewed guys like Bon Jovi and dolls like Shakira :P, then I worked as a science lector, a museum guide and a picture editor. Finally I ended up as a texter and translator - which is nice. In August 2008, I moved to China to study Chinese at Fudan University, Shanghai, since I looove the country and the language and this has been a childhood dream.
If you ever come to Vienna or Shanghai, have some questions about these cities, need someone to show you round - or just want to get in contact for whatever reason, please feel free to drop me a message - I love to get to know new people. I'm quite easy going - I love reading and all things culture, but I also like to party. There's got to be balance in life ;).
Oh yes: And if you're from Shanghai - since I'm now actually living here, I'd be delighted to get to know you to help me settle in a little easier :).
