About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to decide things about life in general and not be a confused weirdo all the time

ABOUT ME

Oh, how to describe myself. I'm a bit crazy, and both my language and my humor are a bit on the black and foul side :-) I love to discuss things, i love sharing my love for movies and music with you, i like to talk nonsense with you and laugh until i nearly choke, so i expect you to share my childish love for... well, childish thing and bad jokes. And I am talking about me too much as I can see in how often I just used the word I ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy? Life is like a movie, there are so many things which influence the outcome that it is unforseeable, but you can write or costume it or choose the music you like to make it more beautiful and interesting, to make it flow they way you want it to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now I only surfed because I always lived in rather small too cosy rooms but I hope one day I will live in a big mansion to able to host 50 couchsurfers in a single night ;-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a few times and mostly it's been an enlightning experience, you meet so many nice people who spend time with you and show you their city, providing valuable background information. And above all, everyone was a character I still remember.

Interests

Many many movies. I watch movies all the time, i love to go to the cinema, especially the small charming ones.
I also read a lot and have a broad interest in many genres.
In summer i love to play tennis and to go swimming or to just lay and roll on the grass feeling the world around me reading aloud beatiful passages from books that make me smile inside.

Music, Movies, and Books

Very very varied. I love Kill Bill, Ghost World, Lost In Translation, Rachel Getting Married, Bright Star, Black Swan, Mary and Max, Alien, A Seperation, Love Exposure and countless others.
Music: Indie and Alternative: Radiohead, The Shins, Modest Mouse, The National, Arcade Fire, CocoRosie, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear etc.
Books: I can't think of books I really prefer, there are too many. Writers: Rushdie, Eugenides, Böll, Woolf, Tucholsky, but also Graphic Novels like Blankets, Black Hole, Fun Home and Jimmy Corrigan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That despite all the cruelty, the world can actually be a nice place. And there is beauty in the details, just look for it. Cosy cafes, tiny cinemas, nice food. It is everywhere. But maybe the most impressive single sight: Swimming in the lake surrounded by snowy mountains under the blazing sun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to have a good talk with you about things relevant to you, to our world and society, but we can also talk nonsense if you like :-)
I am eager to hear your stories, I will swallow them like a sponge :-) I am a good listener and will try to entertain you as well.

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In
