After years and years in Berlin I moved to Leipzig recently. I feel free there.
I really love to share my life with some friends of mine and sometimes with strangers, too. Some of these people influenced me profoundly.

I always write too much, so I'll try to keep this short. Saying less this will still give a more holistic image of me, I hope.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few people have opened up their homes and hearts to me: there is a gentle bonfire glowing deep in my heart for them. To share - this really feels like this world could be such a wonderful place... Thank you Michael from London, thank you strangers from east-France, thank you Igor's girlfriend from Paris...

Interests

First of all, things that are good for me: cooking, Yoga, Tai Chi.

Then I am very into films. And I don't like namesdropping, but Kaurismaki. Because his films should be wider known. If you should read this: thanks for Shadows in Paradise and Drifting Clouds.

Besides I play the guitar and try to read a lot. I love Master & Margarita, Kafka on the shore, On the road and the likes - these feel really comfortable and homelike, if you know what I mean. And the wonderful Balzac, and Erich Fried, and Ringelnatz, and don't get me started, I always get so melancholic :P

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh boy. I love music. And, believe it or not, Hip Hop always inspired me.

I love poems, I loveBrecht.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not amazing. Haven't rescued children from burning houses or delivered babies inside a car (though my father has, actually oO)
I'm not awesome Tom Waits. I'm kinda normal. I feel fine like that :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm more into learning than teaching.
