Like everyone, I try to find my place in all of this. As we search, I believe we should all do our best to make life a more enjoyable for each other. Be kind to others, and be kind to yourself. Be forthcoming. Be open. Just chill out sometimes.

I like humanity, as such. The variety of it never ceases to astonish me. I don't believe in particularily "different" people, because I've yet to meet someone who is any less individual and different than every other person I've met. I think those who say they are, or aim to be "different" than everyone else are silly. Have you not payed attention to the people around you? Embrace the little things that make you, you. In individuality there is no need to compete with those around you.

You're welcome to enlighten me about your philosophy, perhaps I'll find something in it that reasonates with me.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

People. People who want to meet others. People who don't mind discussing their way of life, purpose, happiness, sharing their skills, sharing music, opening up. I would love to get to know you!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Ahh I will have to fill this in with time, I can't think of them all now at once.

Books: Brave New World, The Book Thief, The Pianist, Stand Still Like The Hummingbird, Der Letzte der Gerechten, The Hobbit, The Stormlight Archives, Kingkiller Chronicles and so much more

Movies: Lord of the Rings, Three Idiots, A Beautiful Mind, Studio Ghibli, (...)

Shows: Frasier, Cowboy Bebop, C, Mushishi, Black Books, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Game of Thrones, Red Dwarf, and as of 2015 I've turned into a huge Trekkie. IT'S SO GOOD!

Music: It varies. A lot of electronic music at the moment, the like of chillstep, a whole lot of Elektro. But I like melodic music as well, so singing and guitar but also classical. I do love me some strings and woodwinds.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you how to make a proper Wiener Schnitzel and the potato-salad that goes with it. I would love to teach you everything about the bavarian/austrian traditions! I can also teach you how to knit.

Perhaps you can teach me a game I will enjoy. I suck at strategic thinking which more often than not leads to frustration among my fellow players rather than myself. A game that can be enjoyed nonetheless by both parts would be grand.

I am ridiculously good at thumb wars though. No strategic thinking necessary there, just she sheer skill of my thumb.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Stories, wine, beer, proper austrian/bavarian food, an open ear, a warm hug.
