About Me

Teach me your language and I'll teach you mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I only travelled to see a couple of buildings and mountains which I can see on Google Maps, then I wouldn't travel at all. Travelling involves blending in with the locals. Learn things, teach things, discover new points of view, experience different cultures, exchange ideas and so forth. The most direct contact with the locals, the truest this immersion will be. Thus, Couchsurfing easily beats all other sorts of accommodation to accomplish what I consider to be the main point in travelling.

Interests

To know things about this, that, him or her. I like getting to know everything and that's one of the reasons why I love travelling. Other than that, music should be up there and I like reading though I get hooked on very few books (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Fans, rejoice!).
I like playing football yet I (somewhat) dislike watching it. Same goes for quite a good number of sports.
I love learning languages. Every language is a new way to understand the world and I want them all!

Music, Movies, and Books

Beatles, Floyd, Queen, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, the Police, Clapton... I don't dislike anything.

As for movies, Forrest Gump is hands down the best movie ever made. If you disagree come fight me, you little shit. Interstellar was good, too, BUT NOT AS GOOD. Monty Python. Just like with music I do not dislike anything, I only ask for non boring ass movies.

When it comes to reading I don't really have a genre nor a go to author or anything like that. I can despise the considered "best" books or classics and yet get hooked with the most simple, least awarded book on Earth.
The only exception to that is Douglas Adams. He could narrate paint drying and it'd be funny.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Does getting out of bed EVERY day count?

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach English. I'm learning German. Willst du mit mir auf Deutsch sprechen?
Looking forward to learning either French or Russian but I can't think how to do so other than living in the country for a while... Same goes for German, to be fair. Not that I would mind living in France, Russia, Germany or Austria, really.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time I guess? I don't know, I don't think I can't bring anything other than a nice time. Well, I could bring and share some cookies.
