Starting to do the things I enjoy
ABOUT ME
I like people and life. I like to get to know people, find new friends, I am sometimes funny, but also sometimes rather contemplative and restrained. It's difficult to describe oneself... I like languages, music, philosophy, and traveling. I can talk for hours, if the atmosphere is alike. But I'm also independent and can be on my own for quite a time. I think, I'm a good companion.
PHILOSOPHY
I tend to let everything just be, I don't believe in changing the world, just myself!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have once traveled with couchsurfing to Lisbon and to Cuba, that was really great! Then regretfully I wasn't able to travel or host somebody for a a long time. Now I've moved and can do at last first steps with hosting. I really like getting to know people and exchange with them.
Interests
I'm a music addicted person, I like collecting all kinds of different music styles like world music, Balkan, Russian Retro, Rock, Blues, Soul, Jazz, Alternative Country, Britpop etc. I might have quite oldfashioned preferences, but I like almost everything besides techno. Recently I renewed my former abilities to play classical guitar, it's so hard, but beautiful!

Music, Movies, and Books
There is a lot of! I dont know, I read so many books, iit depends on the subject, one is talking of, then I remember, which one was good or not so interesting.
For Films its almost the same, I like very much film noir and especially Humphrey Bogart, when I was 25 I liked Harry and Sally.
Then I was very much into detective serials like Tatort, then into Bollywood films, Sharukh Khan is really very smart:-)
I like german arthaus films, I cannot stand french cinema at all, they're always beating women or treat them bad. But my favourite french film was also like that and, nevertheless, I liked it: It's called The au harem d'Archimede. Really moving!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
