CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find out who this Alexander Conrads-Person is,,,

ABOUT ME

It would be really interesting to ask my friends that... maybe I should do that sometime. So long I am just gonna write, what I would like them to say: Nice, open-minded, funny, interested in a lot of things that people really care about and the world, filmfreak, a bit hectic maybe (only in a good and motivating way of course), lookind for real conversations, for real people, for real sympathy. I'm not sure if this really gives someone an image of who I am, but there's always a chance to meet me in person.

PHILOSOPHY

This sounds quite esoteric, but I'll try: Try to find out the best way to live my life and let everybody else do the same, without me trying to influence them in any way, but open to help if I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the word about it, surfing, being surfed (only a couple of times until now, so come by).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any crazy stories coming to my mind right now, but what I can say is this: All my experiences so far have been positive. Sometimes there are people you get along with better than with others, but all the people I've met where nice and eager to have real conversations, which is not the most normal thing nowadays I suppose.

Interests

Honest and warm people, movies made with the heart, moments that will not be forgotten, Music that when heard again remdinds of a situation or a certain mood, family, travelling with cool people to meet cool people and visit impressive places, making movies, and so many more things that don't come to my mind right now...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two of the most impressive things that come to mind happened at the same journey to Italy three month ago: First I met my roommates' best friend in Verona by accident and couchsurfed with the same people my roommate couchsurfed with a couple of days before. And then we hitchhiked with a really nice italian guy, who didn't speak english, but was really nice to spend time with. The fact that made this guy stick in my head was that we hitchhiked with him five days later again. Moments that really left me awestruck or really touched me are too intimate to write them down here, but I like talking about those things in good conversations.
