ABOUT ME

Disclaimer: I wrote all this stuff three years ago. I will try to get it updated soon, because it really sounds kind of pretentious to me now. But I will leave it here so that there is at least a little bit of info in my profile...
Just the basics of who I am today: I just finished my bachelor's degree in philosophy and I will start to study Philosophy & Economics in October. I still like thinking, talking and meeting new and interesting people (well, who doesn't?). I might have become a little bit more humble and thoughtful through my studies of philosophy.

This is what I wrote three years ago:
I am...a guy. A guy who likes to see things, feel things, eat, taste, smell, touch things. I like to find stuff out, I want to see how things work, I want to know what has been, what is, why and how. I want to know. I am amazed by the incomprehensible quantity of things that happen in every single second, I am amazed by the thought of the millions and millions of waterdrops in a single glass of water. When I see something and take the time to think about its whole, entire existence, I am humbled. And when I think of how much exists in each persons life, how many things each of us touches, tastes, sees, experiences in his life, I want to meet them and talk and listen and tell and share. I want to know other people, to really know them, to feel them, hear them, see them , KNOW them!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love people. I want to meet everybody!

Intereses

reading, writing, talking, eating, history, things I have no clue about, bicycling, watching ants work and carry stuff, hiking, chocolate, watching sunsets, stones, a card game called "Magic The Gathering", clouds, pineapples, beer, listening to things you normally don't hear, music, laughing until you think you die, mud between the toes, the silence of a winter night when every sound is swallowed by snow, autumn leaves, reading newspapers in the rain, trees, picking the etiquettes of beer bottles, the daily ridiculosities of absurdness, relics that bring back memories of ages long gone, drinking cold milk in the morning.
