ABOUT ME

Hey guys,

I currently live in Giessen, a city you have very likely never heard of. Whenever time and money allow (unfortunately not as often as I wished), I pack my case and leave to encounter different cultures, meet interesting people and discover our lovely planet.

I am very much into music, literature, art, fashion, travelling, tattoos ,curious and grotesque stuff from the Victorian era, Art Nouveau architecture, good coffee, cold beer, etc! But what i enjoy most is being surrounded by my friends and loves ones, which amounts to pretty much the same. A glass of vino is never bad, too!
I try to remember a lot of facts, randomly, whenever I hear something interesting. You can imagine that I usually have fun facts in petto. And I love to dream...The first person I meet in the morning will probably learn everything I remember from my nocturnal odysseys!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Should anyone ever find his or her way to Giessen, I'd be happy to join you for coffee, tea, or drinks or offer you a place to stay!
I also surf (couches).

So far, I've surfed couches twice, and these were awesome experiences!

Music, Movies, and Books

The Importance of Being Earnest (it's hilarious, already while reading, but performed it's the cherry on the cake), The Picture of Dorian Grey (goosebumps), Bram Stoker's Dracula,everything from Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Extremely loud and incredibly close (made me cry so much), and, again and again and again: Hermann Hesse, especially "Der Steppenwolf"! And I'm also into Lord of the Rings stuff :) No to mention Harry Potter...

Concerning movies: The Life of Brian, Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken (called "love in thoughts" in English), which is one of my favourite German films, with brilliant actors, great scenerie (1920s, Berlin) and costumes, and so very true...
Here's my favourite quote, much more beautiful in German of course :) 'To Love: I didn't ask you to stay. But you stayed. I never asked you who you were Or what you wanted. You were simply there. What did you want from me, love? Was I not stronger alone? And did I ever need you? But stay a bit longer. Not long until they stop asking how I am and I stop answering, "Fine." Everyone can tell at a glance: You are here. If you ever leave me I will go with you.'

And once a year, around Christmas: Love Actually!

I listen to a lot of different stuff, but my all-time favourites are Florence & the Machine, RHCP, The Killers, Placebo, Babyshambles, Friska Viljor, Bonaparte, Beirut, Mando Diao, Manu Chao...

Aaaand: I am, I think you can really call it that way, addicted to the German TV crime series 'Tatort'...I even record them if I don't have the chance to see them when they are aired.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are so many amazing things I've seen and done - one of them was experiencing Paul Kalkbrenner live and open air, in the rain, bass in my stomach and my best friend on my side. Perfect.
