My name is Harm and I am studying fine arts in Düsseldorf. Half cypriote- half german. I am a calm person and very open minded. I like to listen to people and hear their stories because everyone of us has got to tell something very interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Especially in this times of nationalism and some people trying as hard as they can to tell us how bad the Idea of a global or European community is Couchsurfing is THE answer against it! To me couch surfing is also a political statement.

Music, Movies, and Books

I started listening to a lot of hiphop and moved than into jazz/funk/soul of all types. My favorite names are Pat Metheney for example.
Whats also awesome is Richard Wagner, you heard of him? Very good operas. And yes i like classic music as well. World music is also good to dive in sometimes. Richard Bona is huge too.
As i grew up without television i am not really into the world of movies. But recently I watched clockwork orange and was pretty thrilled. I think the movie is pretty old.
