Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. But I am very excited about making some...

Interests

I like...
Movies - well, who doesn´t. My absolute favorites are „American Beauty”, „Fight Club”, „Groundhog day” and „Big Fish”... and Rambo 1-4 ;-)

Music - hit me with all you have. I am not so happy with Techno and 12tone-music but the rest is fine. I play piano, a little guitar and harp (really, really basic).

Art - neither too abstract or to realistic. I go with a fresh brush and an artist who knows what he/she is doing. Good Drawings and sketches I really enjoy.

Writing. Words can be mighty and helpful. Writing helps me to think and maybe share some of my thoughts with others. My diary accompanies me since I got 15 and I am working on a book-project.

Other Cultures: I think meeting other people and peoples enrichtes ourselves and the world. We just have the obligation to learn (and teach) as much from others as we can.

Cooking: Experimental but mostly eatable ;-)

Reading: Okay, here it gets odd. I like reading specialist literature and some esoteric books and practical life-guides like „simplify your life” etc. I read maybe 20 „normal” books in my life. For me, a book should teach me something and must be one I would like to read again in some years from now.
