I am a big nerd who is interested in what people have to say and in how different cultures approach life. I am a scientist so I tend to be highly curious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to know a place is to get it to know it from the people who live there!

Interests

My biggest hobby throughout my whole life has been music. I don't play any instrument but I am super keen on anything music-related. Talk to me passionately about your most recent music discovery and you got my hooked!

I used to be a bigger cinephile but I am still very much into films. I can be into contemplative, minimal films but also into tacky gory horror films.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am recently getting into noise and power electronics. I am still at a surface level so I am happy to get recommendations. I can't pick favorites but here are some bands that have been in my life for a long time: Stereolab, LCD Soundsystem, Sigur Rós, The Smiths, and Death Cab for Cutie.

If I were to pick a film I would most likely choose a simple, realistic story, over one set on a fantasy world: I would much rather watch the latest Jafar Panahi's than the latest Christopher Nolan's. That being said, as I grew up watching horror films I also have a lot of fun with gory slashers!

Teach, Learn, Share

Some years ago I found out that teaching is one of the things that fulfills me the most. I used to teach math at a university level.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good listener and I also love to ask questions that make you think! I can offer endless ramblings on politics, science, music, and culture in general.
