CURRENT MISSION

Insanely important are conversations, seeing my friends and family, as well as keeping bonds between and amongst those healthy and strong.

ABOUT ME

I suppose I have quite a few sides to discover; from enthusiastic to melancholic, from hyperactive to meditative, from very rational to very emotional, old-fashioned to progressive, socially integrated to geeky and rebellious, etc. Mostly in designing Video Games, Writing, Film, Photography, although I do love music and drawing, just don't seem to have found my talent there yet.

Oh, yeah, that's an important one:
I hug people when I see them for the first time. ...but only if that person doesn't scream "RAPE!".
Otherwise, some say that they can relax around me and talk openly; others say that I appear really open-minded and non-judgmental. Guess we'll never find out until an official study has been performed!

PHILOSOPHY

My mind just keeps working every single moment of the day on all kinds of thoughts and observations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

soon will have some

Interests

Medicine & Martial Arts: They go hand-in-hand, especially in softer Chinese systems like Taijiquan. I may not practice it currently, but it'll always stay a big topic and I hope to get more active again.

I write; a lot. This and that, mostly things probably nobody will ever get to read. There's no hour where I don't write something down.

I love languages, so you can always hit me up with anything! With languages I not only mean our official national languages, but also pop-languages, any way of expressing ourselves and communicating.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music: Bob Dylan, The Clash, The Replacements, Ella Fitzgerald.

Some favorite movies: The Station Agent, anything with a Muppet in it, Children of Men, Babe: Pig in the City, This is Spinal Tap, and a bunch of others I can't think of right now.

Favorite shows: The Wire, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Community.

I'm a bit of a news junky, and I read the New York Times every day cover to cover and check out a bunch of websites. I also read the New Yorker, but I swear I'm not super pretentious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mimicking accents and dialects.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is a fun section, but I guess you can just hit me up and ask for yourself. Obviously, the more people know each other, the more they can reveal secrets etc. But here, I have no reason to reveal anything.

Instead of that, I challenge you!
Interest me in something. Find something that is completely atypical for me according to my profile etc., then try to show me why you would like that. Something you like, but I don't seem to.
