CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know others and myself.

ABOUT ME

I like to laugh - and I enjoy deep and personal conversations. Sometimes, I am a bit shy and it needs some time until I open up more.

I love to get to know people of different cultures, listen to the sound of their language and experience their country. Generally, I like to get to know people and their way of living and thinking.

Sometimes, I like to write storys, sometimes I like to be in the nature. I love to watch puppetry, in the old or in a modern way (some years ago I did my own little performance as application for puppetry studies). For five months now I love to play the piano - as far as I can yet (this was my dream since I was a child).

I believe in God, but definitely without any missionary attitude - yet I am very keen to get to know what people are living from, what searches they are about in their lives.

In these days, I am very keen to get to know more about the roots of my father. This moves me since my childhood - that he had to leave his home as a 4-year-old child. I am wondering why my some of my best friends have a similar background or are from Eastern European Countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a "beginner" and yet I have no experience. Two friends of mine are fond of C.S. Nevertheless I haven't travelled with Couchsurfing, I spent five weeks with a friend's family in Israel, about a year in Nottingham (England), and some weeks in Ireland, France, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Denmark.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like films which emotionally touch me - but also the Star Trek Series(which actually is no contradiction, I think). I like if they have a combination of humour and depth. E.g. I do love: As in Heaven (Swedish film), Once, Beyond Silence, The Shawshank Redemption, The Soloist, The Company you keep. Lately, I bought some Czech films - I need to watch them first.

Books - I love for example: Books by Rafik Shami, Ursula Hahn, The shack and Cross Roads by W.P. Young. Right now, I am very touched by the book The red Nepomuk by Josef Holub (unfortunatly available just in German).

Music - this changes always a bit. Now, I love the new CDs by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova and some symphonic music (Sibelius) and the harp concert by Mozart.
