Overview
About Me
Hello there! I would consider myself as friendly and trustworthy. I often hear that I am a good listener to other people.
Still, I like to be adventurous. To new things, or to learn new things.
I have tried all sorts of sports, hobbies, instruments, languages..
I like playing Improtheater a lot, it is a very interpersonal hobby where you can try a lot of things and create connections with other people. It's fascinating how scenes can be created spontaneously and still be good and funny.
Unfortunately I cannot host at the moment. :( I am living in a student residence, with few space. Maybe in a few years :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
Depending on time/mood!
I have been listening to Drum and Bass since years already. Especially Pendulum, e.g. the song 'Tarantula' 'Midnight runner' are really cool.
I also much like the progressive Metal band 'Dream Theater'. The music is a bit unconventional, but I like the versatility, their beats and the emotions they create with their music. It might be a bit heavy for some people. I have played the drums for some time and their drummer Mike Portnoy was quite an inspiration.
Smooth stuff in the morning. HipHop/RnB for Dancing. Sometimes rather funny stuff, sometimes sad music ;)
Movies:
For some reason I like to watch the Spiderman Movie with Tobey Maguire from 2002.
I like the Monsters inc., what a beautiful emotional movie.
'Der Schuhe des Manitu' is to me a very funny German movie.
To be honest, at the moment I like watching documentaries a lot. I just saw one about Michelle Obama, what a heartful person.
Books:
Interested in a lot of stuff. For example books on Psychology and Philosophy, currently I am reading 'To have or to be' by Erich Fromm. I also like to read Biographies, I found Arnold Schwarzenegger quite interesting. Sometimes German novels.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've done the Free-Hugs Challenge in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach how to solve a Rubik's cube or how to juggle
I could teach how to play chess
I like to learn and speak different languages. Obviously I can teach German. Learning some french or russian would be cool.
I like cooking a lot and always enjoy teaching/learning things about that. I can teach how to make 1pot-pasta, German fried potatoes, Omelettes, the russian soup 'borsch', Chili, Curry..
Also baking, like muffins, cookies, pie.. :) I recently learned how to make frozen cheesecake by a friend from my residence
I can play the guitar and piano a bit, so I am open for jam sessions :)
