CURRENT MISSION

So that I may perceive whatever holds, the world together in its inmost folds.

ABOUT ME

Sorry for this rather incomplete profile. I joined CS while travelling and I will complete my profile page as soon as I get home (Photos, couch information, etc. ;) ).

PS: You'll probably have noticed that I use a lot of smileys Sorry about that, it's kind of a bad habbit :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being interested in surfing and hosting? I don't know what to put in here, I haven't really participated a lot yet ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As for now: None. But I'm working on that one :P

Interests

Almost everything. I love travelling, nature, literature, history, most kinds of music, pretty much all kinds of food, movies, animals (especially cats, dogs, elephants and monkeys :D ), politics, stories about strange (or "just" exciting, funny, sad...) incidents other poeple experienced, tales etc. I'm pretty sure we'll find a common interest :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm. Another hard question. Let's start with music. I'm interested in many kinds of music, e.g Reggae, Rock, Metal, Classic, a little bit of Jazz and a lot of in-between-genres. I'm not the type of person that has music playing all the time, but I like to visit concerts (from very big festivals to tiny little live acts) and listen to music while reading or daydreaming. Unfortunately I have an extremely bad memory for lyrics so singing along is pretty hard for me, though I love singing (I just need the words :P ).
Talking about words: I used to read a lot, from Dante, More, Goethe and Shakespeare over Twain, Verne, Doyle, May, Poe and Wilde to modern times fantasy authors like Lewis, Canavan or Tolkin. Over the last months I didn't read that much (but I really regret this and hope to change it soon), but some books I did read (and that impressed me quite a lot) were the expedition diaries of Thor Heyerdahl and the tales of 1001 nights (though I haven't finshed them yet..).
Coming to the movie section I must admit, that this one is probably the hardest.. A list of movies I like? Of the last movies I saw the best were Pina, Black Swan and Casablanca. I like many movies starring Jhonny Depp (especially his stranger ones :P), Robert de Niro, Anthony Hopkins or Leonardo di Caprio. Some of my favorite directors are Kubrick and Tarantino, but I'll probably have to think about this a little bit more :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode an elephant, trecked the Everest region, stood on the center of the earth, fought with human bones, had a ride on a luggage belt and a lot more.. :D
