About Me

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can barely turn around in my "room" without knocking something over or hitting a wall. So hosting is kinda hard...but I really enjoy hanging out with new people at meetings and in my free time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed for the first time in September 2012 during my round trip through Italy and totally fell in love with it! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to travel since then but I swore to myself CS is going to be my first choice for the future :D

Interests

Too many to list here. And always adding more!

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly Indie (Blood Red Shoes, Editors, Franz Ferdinand, Two Door Cinema Club, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys...) and Hip Hop (Mac Miller, Cam Meekins, Notorious B.I.G., Drake, Snoop Dogg, Cro, Kendrick Lamar...)
Movies: Big Fish, Inception, Before Sunrise, Temple Grandin, Scott Pilgrim, Shutter Island, Submarine, Wall-E, Memento, In Search of a Midnight Kiss, Hugo, Amelie, 500 days of Summer, The King's Speech...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Jumping out of a plane at an altitude of 3000 m
- Deciding to move to a new city without even having seen it
- Meeting someone on a field trip to Neuschwanstein and talking straight through with that person for nearly 6 hours, paying no attention at all to the castle
