About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just moved to Berlin

ABOUT ME

I am a rather uncomplicated person. A balanced mix between reserved and outgoing, lazy and dynamic, sane and insane. For more information, I guess a look at my references, however not numerous, give a pretty good overview of what kind of guy I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Tolerance, honesty, emotional intelligence, good food. My occasional, recent, political readings continue to confirm this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed in South Africa, and I met incredibly hospitable people who welcomed me like a king. I loved it. Apart from that I met other couchsurfers in Germany and France. Currently, I have just moved to Berlin, and settling down here.

Interests

I love lots of things including going to concerts (electro, indie, folk), baking cakes and breads, enjoying a nice hike, talking about cuisine, politics and environment or gender related topics, working in the garden, nerding in front of my computer and at times computer games, and dancing on *quality* electro, rock songs or balkan beats.

Trip-hop/Electronica/Electro-Pop (from Morcheeba, to Telefon Tel Aviv)
Women Voices (from Björk, to Feist)
Indie/Rock (from PJ Harvey, to Radiohead)
and sometimes a lot of silly sounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitting the road in Iceland on a lovely summer night to watch the midnight sunset on Jökullsarlon, the Iceberg Lake.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanna soon learn to play a music instrument, such as flute or guitar (it is never too late). Also, I should probably start doing yoga and acting.

I can teach you how to bake a cake that will ALWAYS be a sucess. And of course I can teach you some French, and German (well, what I know).
