About Me

I am full of curiosity, joy and the will to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe, that the best way to meet a new culture, is to stay in a home from someone that was brought up in it.
And I want to see and live and feel and grasp as much as there is in the present moment. This urge leads me to travel.

A ship is safe in harbour -
but thats not what ships are for.

Interests

I love to listen to people, to observe and learn. I love to laugh to share and dance and be free and mindful and together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything that was made with passion is worth hearing, seeing or reading. I find it hard to put a finger on it. Books, Music and all the other arts are a way to get a glimpse of the perception of life from the perspective of another human being. That fact alone makes me misty.

I am deeply touched by the music of:
The Doors, Queen, Leonard Cohen, Bach, Pavarotti, Lou Reed,
Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan Alonso Del Rio, Bob Marley, Ludovico Einaudi,
Edith Piaf, Kendrick Lamar - to name just a few.

Movies like:
The Boat That Rocked, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club,
Donnie Darko, City of God, Matrix, in a wider sense I cherish stories that make me feel and think.

Books from:
Hermann Hesse, Steven Hawkins, Neil De Grasse Tyson,
Die Gebrüder Grimm, Richard Dawkins, Isaac Asimov, Frank Schätzing, Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Sagan, Harry Mulisch and all the others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am there, for people in need.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to be ready at any moment
to sacrifice what I am,
for becoming what I could be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

my sight of view, sheer joy of life and so much more.
