Hi! My name is Alex, but friends also call me Sasha. I'm 22 and I'm a student. I study in Germany in a small town, not so far from Erfurt - called Schmalkalden

Sometimes make mistakes while speaking English, but I'm here to fix it :D

I always try to be optimistic, and I think there are no unsolvable issues. To be alarmist - it is not about me.
And, also, respectful. The main thing is to respect the choice and interests of each person.

3 Things that are my passion: coffee, wine and all kind of planes.
- I love all kinds of coffee, and as a great coffee-lover, I can talk about it lots of time while drinking a "damn good coffee" ;)
- My favorite Wine is Bardolino Rose. But you can't drink only one kind of wine knowing that you can choose millions of them. I love to drink wine, but not to be drunk. Of course, I will bring you one bottle of good european wine :)
- Planes have always surprised me by being so powerful and I love flying, since it makes me feel free!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is my hobby. I was in a lot of countries and I want to visit more, since I also want to learn new languages.
I'm looking for a new tattoo too, and I think couchsurfing can help me with it.

Interests

Of course I have many interests. I like seeing what's new regarding technologies, computer games, books, good movies, music, tasty food (who doesn't like it?), board games and many many more.
I am also very interested on traditions and culture from other countries. I love finding similarities (and also differences) between us. I like to travel, and love to talk about my experiences.
I like hiking (seeing the nature, sleeping out and cooking by the fire), and ride the bike.
Also, last time, I have been reading a lot.

• arts
• culture
• books
• traveling
• hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading books in general, but those are my favourites:
Howard P. Lovecraft (Call of Cthulhu),
Edgar Allan Poe (The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Murders in the Rue Morgue)
Isaac Asimov (The Caves of Steel)
Stanisław Lem (Solaris).
And also I am currently into learning more about Philosophy.

About movies and series, I think our life is too short to watch stupid movies.
And here are some series I can always talk about with anyone: Twin Peaks, Scrubs, Friends, GoT, Adventure Time.
