I've traveled a lot when the world was a merrier place: different countries in Europe, Quebec, Russia, Mongolia, China, Japan, New Zealand…
I want to do it again, but I'm going to take it slowly ;)
I work in non-profits and I write fantasy novels. I'm shy but I like meeting new people :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet new people: I'm not exactly an extrovert so I don't always know how to proceed ^^
Also, since I'm a well-travelled person, I'd love to share my experiences with others :)

Interessen

Arts (literature, drawing, music, cinema, photography...)
Travels, hiking, nature, animals
Civilisations, legends, folk stories, spooky tales, historical gossip even! Truth is, I like people, their little faults, their great deeds, the things we all share, no matter what part of the world we dwell on.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Films: Cast Away, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (my top 3)

Music: eclectic tastes, from John Gay's Beggar Opera to Nickelback ;) Coldplay (before Mylo Xyloto), Shaka Ponk, Blind Guardian, Nirvana, John Butler Trio, Dido... plus tons of other things I hear once or twice and think "Hey, that's cool!"

Books: fantasy novels, Zola, about anything that has to do with 19th century and the lives of people back then. I can read pretty anything, once I'm started...
