About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat a lot of cinnamon rolls & become one myself.

ABOUT ME

For some reason I like to compare myself with a cat. Not because they are cute and cuddly, but because they tend to wander around on their own and are always willing to accept sausage or two from a stranger. So that's what I do. I meow sausages from strangers. And I'm always near my fridge when it's open. Naturally.

PHILOSOPHY

People are more talented than they give themselves credit for. They just have to keep searching and approaching a new "new" every once in a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not traveling much at this point, but I'm quite used to living with somebody else (from the university times) where I actually preferred to live in rooms that were open for people to walk through. So yeah - I'm mostly hosting at this point.

Interests

drawing, painting, performances, dancing, computer games (although I hardly have the time anymore), writing (short stories/poetry), beat-poetry, photography, stand-up comedy (not performing myself though :/ some day, I say, some day!), watching movies that have early-draft screenplays available in the internet (I just love the moment when you discover that the script has more backstory or a bunch of additional scenes that were cut from the film -- all in all you get a LOT more pleasure from whatever you are watching)
