About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get used to the european life again. Fuck I miss mexico!

ABOUT ME

I just returned from mexico, lived there for about 9 months, worked as a volunteer in Chiapas for about 5 months, in a rehab centre for drugaddicts and in Mexico City with on organisation for streetchildren.
I'm a quiet, easygoing person who enjoys to discus, exchange experiences and learning from other people. I'm a doubter and love listening to people who can inspire me and make me think. I like last minute desicions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is a bit new for me, I tryed it a few times in mexico and had only nice experiences, made new friends and had a lot of fun! CS is much more than just getting a free host, it gives us the opportunity to get to know a place from the inside without feeling a tourist, to live a place and to have an intercultural exchange. I'm convinced of the surplus value of this project!

Interests

Music, boxing, cowboys, eating, boots, dark brown smokey bars, intercultural stuff, eating weird insects, funny candy-packings, pub-crawling, coca-cola-light, getting lost in a book, making last minute decisions, coffee, second-hand markets, funny old men, getting staggered by tiny things,...

Music, Movies, and Books

I like trashy punk music and related genres, but I'm also a big fan of Johnny Cash, Hank III, AC/DC... One of my favorites are social distortion, gogol bordello, dead moon.
My favorite book at this moment is my new book about 'lucha libre' with a lot of illustrations of big, mussled, masked men. Also 'White teeth' of Zadie Smith, and Trainspotting will never leave my top ten.
Movies: Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, the big lebowsky, The devils rejects, amores perros, but actually I barely watch television.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A boxing fight in Mexico City, I almost lost my face but the tacos after tasted great!
