CURRENT MISSION

live without one

ABOUT ME

Well, I don't like it a lot to describe myself but I'll do my best and try:
I always get to hear I seem very mature for my age and I have not yet decided how to take that: maybe as "oh she's so responsible and boring" or rather "hey, she's got some interesting things to tell"... probably there's a bit of both in me.
Of course I enjoy to meet different people, to see different places to talk, to laugh, to share my time. But I'm also very independent and sometimes I just need some time on my own to spend it thinking or reading or walking around or whatever.
Some of my friends say I can get a little obsessive with certain things but don't be afraid it's not too bad and I can laugh at myself.
I'm definitely not a heavy party animal, so I can tell you way more about where to go to dance tango than about "normal" clubbing in Buenos Aires. If you are looking for that you'll have to find out on your own ;o)))

PHILOSOPHY

Somehow still looking for it, but I also get along quite well without one!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to tango, tango and tango (Sexteto Milonguero, Gotan Project, Otros Aires, Goyeneche, Mariano Mores, Libedinsky, Salgan and more) but I also like other music: some Argentinian Folklore, some opera, classic music, rock, guitar ... I'm open for quite different things as far as it isn't techno music.
The other two categories are more difficult, I like reading a lot but I can´t decide for a favorite book or author, there are just so many (Cortázar, Grass, Kafka, Böll, Hesse, Juli Zeh, Borges, Galeano, Auster...) with movies it´s the same, I don´t have a favorite one, I liked Trainspotting, Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, Schtonk, Amadeus, Historias Minimas, Volver, Wir können auch anders, Black Cat, White Cat, Underground, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most bizarr landscape I´ve ever seen is a huge salt flat in southern Bolivia.
The best things I did in my life were going to Argentina for an exchange year when I was 15 and backpacking southamerica for a year after finishing high school.

Teach, Learn, Share

-If you want I can teach you some basic tango steps and of course a bit of german and some spanish
-I'd really like to learn french, portugese, sewing, developing negatives, flamenco, tap-dancing, salsa and I don´t know what else. So whatever you know just show me!
-I always love to share some mates, so if you have nothing against bitter taste I'll introduce you to a nice argentinian custom
