Biking
Mainly on the mountainbike, but sometimes I like long tours on the road bike :)

Winter sports
A true Austrian that loves snowboarding, pow surfing and cross-country skiing.

Foraging, gardening & plant-based cooking
Love to explore the food nature gives us. You won't see me pass by a raspberry bush without having a taste.

Ultimate Frisbee
Used to play semi-professional Ultimate Frisbee, also in the Austrian national team. I would call myself retired, after I suffered a bitter knee injury.

Let's create amazing experience together!
