About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rather theoretical, I'd say, being passionate about finding ways to understand things better. But maybe my secret mission is to overcome this theoretical approach.

ABOUT ME

I am currently listening to the song 'Fred the Fish' by Daevid Allen (probably not the best soundtrack for a self-discription), eating an apple (Pink Ladies - Imported from New Zealand but they are beatiful) and am reading a book from Josh Waitzkin (which really motivates you to stop procrastination). Otherwise I am proud that I had a nice, yet productive day with lots of sunsh-- oh my MP3-player on shuffle is now playing 'I am a bowl', and honestly while I am typing I am neither eating nor am I reading that book I just told you about, but still I am not hungry or unmotivated at all!

PHILOSOPHY

Your Life may seem absurd, but that is only because you haven't seen it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am super happy to host people, and maybe I will be in the mood again to travel, then I'd like to be involved in it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was really warmly hosted a few years ago in a trip through Israel :)

Interests

music, making music, maths, chemistry, eating&cooking, chess&hacky sacks, basketball, philosophy, concerts, kiswahili (kweli!), moving your body, things that are amusing, things that I find amusing, humans in general and how they smurf in society.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes to all three things!

I do like music - it is fun! Funk, punk, metal, reggea, hiphop, indie, oldies! And you might be harassed with some weird-ish noise if you ask kindly ;)

I love books that stunn me in some kind of way; one of my youth favorites were the amazing 'The Star Diaries' by Stanislaw Lem. At uni I got stung by the furious author Hans Henny Jahnn. A current book, which I still feel quite lively, 'When we speak of Nothing' by Olumide Popoola.

Movies: Y tu mamá también, Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Happy-go-Lucky
