Winter Exile

ABOUT ME

I was one of the insatiables. The ones you'd always find sitting closest to the screen. Why do we sit so close? Maybe it was because we wanted to receive the images first. When they were still new, still fresh. Before they cleared the hurdles of the rows behind us. Before they'd been relayed back from row to row, spectator to spectator; until worn out, secondhand, the size of a postage stamp, it returned to the projectionist's cabin. Maybe, too, the screen was really a screen. It screened us from the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Should I always reply to get a better requests-replied-to-rate? No.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We used to host lots of Couchsurfers. By now we have too many friends visiting to host people often but you can always try. Sometimes we pick out interesting requests. Plus I tend to get lonely whenever my flatmates leave town for longer than 24 hours. Like Christmas.

Interests

I like books and films (recently Foster Wallace, Rushdie, Hasek, Kundera, Kusturica, Carax, Forman, Fassbinder, ..). I'm a bit obsessed with newspapers and studied Journalism. I like taking pictures.
