ABOUT ME

far too complex to be put in such a little box ;)

PHILOSOPHY

don't let anyone stand in your way.. (Jens Lekman)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

living in a flat with four people naturally implies a lot of couchsurfing going on.. our couch is regularly occupied although hardly from people having come via a cs profile - pretty old fashioned..

what i like about hosting someone is the kind of second hand travelling feeling you get.. delivers freedom at home. what i love about the cs platform is that one can find a home at any place in the world.. in theory at least ;) so far i only made good experiences with great people!!

Interests

meeting friends and interesting people, cinema, art house movies, books, newspapers, concerts, dancing, art, thinking, talking, philosophizing, watching people in cafes, playing chess, my flatmates, my work in moderate dose, watching television, hanging out in a sunny park or simply lying on the couch and waiting what's happening next.. and of course travelling and getting to know new places, new people and new perspectives
