[edit] About me
I am a student of mathematics and computer science at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, the longest university name i know of (please, step forward if you can correct me there!). If you ever come around this corner in spring, you should certainly see the local beer festival, called Bergkirchweih; smaller than Oktoberfest, but cheaper and with a really nice atmosphere.
[edit] Social Engagement
I am actively involved in AEGEE, a European student organisation, whose intention it is to actively live the European integration in the academic world through involving young people from all over Europe in projects, meetings, serious and fun events.
Check out the website and see what it's all about!
[edit] Travels
Yes, I DO love to travel - so far, I have mostly been in European countries. List of countries visited:
- Spain, Bulgaria - staid there for half a year each (Valencia and Sofia) and loved it!
- Austria - been there frequently, though not too fond of this country myself (I am Austrian and live in Germany)
- Portugal - only been to Lisbon, and it is a beautiful city !
- Italy - Rome is a must-see, also been around in the North (Turin - a bit expensive but nice; Milan - must-see)
- France - stayed in Dreux and shortly went to Paris
- Czech Republic - Prague (not so cheap anymore and overrun, unless you know where to go) and Plzen (home of the Pilsener Urquell), go there if you have time!
- Poland - Wroclaw (nice city) and Poznan
- Romania - been to Bucharest (ugly city, hope they do sth about it soon), Constanta (nice seaside, not-so-nice city, cheap), Sinaia (nice winter resort, really!) and Tulcea (on the Dunava delta, very nice yet small); my hint: just bribe everybody, and you'll get around. Trains, policemen, you name it
- Moldova - Chisinau is certainly worth a visit, a very nice city, and cheap!
- Great Britain - in the summer it's not all that bad, but slightly expensive, and London is a must-see as well. I was also in Poole and Bournemouth, but do not expect too much of it.
- Switzerland - been to Fribourg (beautiful small town) and Appenzell (for the cheese); expensive, but nice. People are more friendly than you would expect!
- Netherlands - I do not go there neither for the food nor for the beer, only for AEGEE events!
- Bosnia and Herzegovina - Been to Sarajevo and Mostar, both really worth a visit - if you are up to either a long or slightly expensive travel
- Cyprus - very nice island, good for a holiday, especially as long as the North is not too full of tourists - there are actually empty beaches there! Though do not talk about politics too much...
- Canada - not recommendable in winter or spring. Not much to see. Go to Europe instead.
Non-countries I have been to:
- Transnistria - nothing to do, nothing to see, except if you are in for a true Soviet revival experience!
- Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - nice place, still not too expensive, and not too many tourists.
