PHILOSOPHY
Hermann Hesse - Stufen
Hermann Hesse - Steps
[...]
Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne,
Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.

A magic dwells in each beginning,
protecting us, telling us how to live.
[...]
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten,
An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen,

High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm,
cleaving to none as to a home,
[...]
Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,
Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen

only he who is ready to journey forth
can throw old habits off.
[...]

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Get in touch with People, their Cultures and the Languages they speak
See Places from a non-touristic Viewpoint
I am a firm believer that one can find interesting people everywhere on the Planet

Interesses

Sports - especially Icehockey, Football (and Basketball - The Toronto Raptors Playoff Game I attended was probably the best 140$ [ouch] I spent in a long time - totally worth it!)

Almost every genre of music
Popculture, in general
To a certain degree, politics
Party!
Travelling, Travelling, Travelling!

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

Favorite Music:
My Metal Playlist is as big as my Rap Playlist which is as big as several other Playlists - I like Music, not genres
Favorite Movies:
Interstellar, Shutter Island, Seven, Wolf of Wall Street
Favorite Books:
The LOTR and Bartimaeus Trilogies, Harry Potter, 1984, Im Westen nichts neues (All quiet on the Western Front)

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Going Face to Face with a Humpback Whale that was way bigger than the 20 person boat I sat in - leaving me absolutely speechless

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

Cultural Exchange
You are an Individual in a foreign country and part of a foreign society - tell me about it! Whats it like living there? I'm really fascinated about that

And of course my appreciation for you letting me stay at your Place and the opportunity to get to know you
