CURRENT MISSION

Understand "Anti-Oedipus"...

ABOUT ME

I love cities. I love to listen to other peoples stories, but if you are interested, I can also tell some weird stuff. I prefer dirty little alleys to the big clean streets and try to look for beauty where nobodys looking for. I prefer honest melancholy to false happiness. I'm a bit of a "radical mind" concerning society and politics, meaning I want to change it from the ground up. I like walking the streets at night with music in my ears. I always wear two different socks (mostly with holes) so I can't be cursed by evil witches. If I had to pick a type, it would be the flaneur of the early 20th century. But after all, there's nothing "special": Just trying to get by in this crazy place called planet earth.

PHILOSOPHY

if you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance (shaw)

Bring something incomprehensible into the world! (deleuze)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to provide a place to crash and if you want to, I can show you the special places in "my" city, introduce you to the alternative and subcultural scene. It all depends on what you expect and what you are interested in.

So far I've had only good experiences - with my hosts as well as with my guests.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe I can tell you one thing or two about political activism and marxist ideas / critical theory since I have some experiences and read some stuff, though I'm certainly no expert in this stuff. I have some skills in Photoshop and some other layout and graphic-designe programs, so if you want to, I can give you an introduction. I'd really like to learn more about the art of photography, because it fascinates me.
