Frank Turner live videos.
| December 31, 2009 | Filled under music and concerts |
Musically speaking, 2009 stood out for me personally because of two bands that I saw in February: The Gaslight Anthem & Frank Turner. In fact, Frank Turner was the support for TGA so I saw them both on the same evening. Both bands really stuck with me the whole year and can be counted to my most favourites now. I even made a detour during… »
The year in travel.

I spent around 132 days outside of Klagenfurt (~46 days for work, ~86 private) and couchsurfed 35 times with 17 different hosts… that’s more than 4 months away! Countries by days: Austria (59), Germany (14), Italy (14), Belgium (12), Switzerland (9), Netherlands (8), Bulgaria (7), Spain (4), Hungary (3), Slovakia (1), Slovenia (1) 27 days in Vienna. The numbers should be about correct, don’t know… »

2009-08-23 21:00 & 2009-08-25 22:00 OK, so I’m back since August 2nd but have been terribly busy ever since: Returning on a Sunday afternoon only to get up the next morning at 6 to go to work. Two days work in Villach, 3 days in Sofia, home to my parents for the weekend. Getting friends from Vienna (Birgit & Felix) over to surf my couch… »

Alright, after the 10th time that I went into town today, I think now I really have everything. See, tomorrow I will be boarding a train from Klagenfurt to Salzburg. There, some friendly Couchsurfers from Linz are going to pick me up and we will all drive to Gossau together. That’s near St. Gallen in Switzerland. There’s a “huge” Couchsurfing event going on – the… »
Barcelona.

In June I flew from Graz to Barcelona with Ryanair. There I met one of my first Couchsurfing guests – Julia from Poland is now studying there. Weather was great, one day was perfect, one a little too cloudy, but Barcelona is a very beautiful city. I took a lot of photos and spent a lot of time at the MACBA (museum of modern art)… »
Bratislava.

Directly after Venice, there was a kind of family-trip to Vienna and Bratislava. Unfortunately, most of the Bratislava photos are way too blury because there was a problem with the focus of my Sigma lens that I managed to fix but I didn’t notice it when we where there. So without further excuse: Bratislava flickr set. Activate Twitter Activate Facebook Activate Google OPT IN: The… »
Venice.

Many times, work is not bad. Sometimes, work is OK. Sometimes, work is good. Sometimes, work is even excellent. For example, when I get the chance to combine a trip for work with a trip for myself. Like Hamburg. Or Sylt. So imagine how cool it was that I had to bring someone to Venice airport and the next day was a national holiday in… »
