I really hate trying to explain, who I am. But for the sake of this, I shall try to give a rough idea.
For the start, I always treat people the same way, I want to be treated. Say: I am friendly, I listen, I am polite and I try to make them feel good in my presence.
I can be very funny, if my humour is appreciated; at first it's mostly harmless, but if I beginn to feel comfortable, it can get really dark and sometimes out of hand. But I mean no harm to noone.
At times I am really goofy, too. Actually, this happens quite a lot when I am in company I like.
The same is true for the topics I talk about. Small Talk is no stranger to me, although I find it rather tiring after a while. It is mandatory, if you want to get to the really good stuff and as soon, as you reach this point in a talk, you know, that your conversational partner is someone worth talking to. If I find myself in the presence of such a person, the topics I talk about can range from experiences, movies, music and books all the way up to abstract and philosophical topics. I love people, who have a different opinion than I do; but I do not like it, if they treat them like facts, that other just haven't learned yet. Equally I love it, if people share my interests and views.
If, on the other hand, I am in company, that I do not like or know very well, I can appeal as silent, shy or deep in thought. Sometimes the last thing can also be a sign that I feel comfortable enough, to just sit there in silence and think; a thing I really like to do sometimes. So if I don't talk to you, it means either that I really don't like you or the exact opposite. But I think you will know by then.
What else to say about me? I really don't like written words in the internet, that do not contain a single smilie.
So here is one: :).
(Look, it seems to want to meet you! Isn't that nice?)

Hey, I just finished this description without using to much overused term "open-minded."
Oh, there it is. Nevermind then.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Well, at first, I offer my couch.
Secondly, I am more than happy to help you, if you have any questions regarding anything you think I can help you with. Nevermind if you want to surf my couch or not. Also I am always overjoyed to show people around Erfurt or get a drink.
Thirdly, I like to travel at times and to meet people by doing so. So I do.

My friend and I surfed the couch of a really nice guy in Frankfurt, we literally surfed the mattress of a dutch fella, who lived on a boat and we hosted a few people.
All in all these experiences were more than positive and I would love to have some new ones.

Intereses

I love movies! Any kind of it, I am open to the experience and try to judge only after I have seen it. (In most cases) Apart from that I love to read, which is a good thing, since I am studying literature at the university of Erfurt. Music is also very important. My taste in Music is very wide and sometimes more than weird, but I will talk about that later.
In my spare time, I write fiction. At the moment I am working on a novel I have been working on for some years now. But it is a learning process and I loved every second of it.
I play the guitar, I love to go for a walk, I really enjoy having a drink with an interesting person and talk about the weirdest topics and I enjoy the occasional swim.
But I am always open to new experiences. And I love knowledge, any kind of it in any quantity. None of it is wasted on my mind, I can assure you. As a writer, anything can at one point be worth knowing. It is nice not to worry about stuff like useless information!

Música, películas y libros

The movies I like aren't determined by fixed aspects. I can find joy in any genre, quality, mood or age, as long as it is well done or speaks to me in a non-explainable way.
Some I like: Ghostbusters, Back to the future, Adams Apples, the work of Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam and Quentin Tarantino, nearly everything by Monty Python. The Dark Knight, Inception, Hook, Hot Fuzz, Chicago, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Keeping Mum, Scrubs, Invader Zim, Wonderfalls.
I love Horrormovies if they are either well done like The Shining, or silly enough to make me laugh like Re-Animator. I also can't get enough of dark comedys or anything silly. Sometimes I can be a sucker for drama, as well.
Oh yeah, and I really, I mean REALLY, love the Cartoon Show Beetlejuice!!

As music goes, it is a little bit more complicated, if that is possible. Music inspires me in many different ways. Some of it just speaks to me by intuition, some of it I like because of it's lyrics, some of it I like because of the mood it creates. Like with movies, I do not like to think in genres. But if you want a overview over my favourites, here you go:
Rock, Pop, Rock'n'Roll, Soundtracks, Classic, Musical, Psychedelic, Psychobilly, Jazz, Swing, Blues, 80s, 60s, 50s.
Some bands, to top off the musical picture of me:
The Beatles, Johnossi, Sioen, Kaizers Orchestra, Oingo Boingo, Danny Elfman, Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, My Baby wants to Eat your Pussy, Yann Tiersen, Tom Waits, Die Ärzte, The Decemberists, The Fleet Foxes, Timber Timbre, Bodo Wartke and many others.

Books are equally treated. I like horror, I like drama, I like feelings. But basically I am able to like any kind of book, as long as the author manages to make me smile by the way he treads the language he uses.
I adore Stephen King because of his details and his ability to create characters. Apart from that I love Peter Pan, Frankenstein, the books of Terry Pratchett, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Treasure Island, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide, Roald Dahl, Anne Rice (At times), Edgar Allan Poe, Jonathan Safran Foer and many more.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I would be able to teach some of the basics of playing the guitar.
If someone is interestet in writing a novel (or any other kind of creative text) I can provide some experiences.
Apart from that I am able to listen and think about problems, either in a rational or emotional way.
And I can show you this beautiful town I have the privilege to study at.
