CURRENT MISSION

Carrying out studies on literary reading.

ABOUT ME

My occupation is the empirical study of literary reading. Besides that I enjoy music and music theory, as well as all things related to culture and psychology. When it comes to sports I like swimming (and going for walks).

PHILOSOPHY

The closest thing to that that I have is a scientific world view.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only heard about couch surfing since I went abroad so currently I am only taking advantage of other people but will hopefully repay the favor once I am settled somewhere where I have a big enough apartment to host others as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Will make them soon!

Interests

Literature, music, architecture, science (especially psychology and related fields). Swimming, strolling, drinking, going out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning about empirical approaches to studying aesthetics and especially literature; my first confrontations with music theory and modern classical music; reading Samuel Beckett; Reading E. E. Cummings; looking at the data of my first study. And the happiest 2 hours of my life after reading a passage of Kierkegaard and then going to a class discussing it with the wonderful prof. After that: 2 hours of complete bliss.

Teach, Learn, Share

I tend to have a lot of respect for people that are good and really passionate about whatever they do. If you have no passion for your career path/occupations, I think there is something slightly off with you ;)
But if you do, you already get 10 bonus points from the start.
