About Me

I like summer rain, nature, singing, games nights and sewing little cuddle-mosters.

I love hiking with a tent, reducing the stuff I carry with me to a minimum, because it makes life simple and makes me live in the moment.

I like planing and organising all kind of stuff, but that doesn't mean I'm a control-freak. I terms of travel, that's just how I dream of a trip I want to do: I start planing it.

I don't like superficiality. I think people shouldn't be juged based on their looks.

Overall, I'm (like all the people here seem to be) an open-minded, easygoing, friendly person. I'm not into relying on untertones of conversations, so I usually say what I mean, which some people find very direct - but I think that's necessary to avoid misunderstandings, especially when different cultures are involved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When it comes to new cities and places, after a while buildings and sights all look the same, but people are always different and they make a place special.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Dota Kehr, 20vor8, Parov Stellar, Danubes Banks... mostly small bands and klezmer/balkan/swing/electroswing kind of stuff, and I also like singer/songwriter and indie. But in the end, I can listen to anything.

Movies: Les Choristes, Into the wild

Books: Mistborn, Gemma Doyle, Bartimaeus, Rumo and His Miraculous Adventures. Fantasy and historical stuff. And Dr. Seuss books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the peaks of the Balkans with my brother - landscapes were great, but people were truely amazing. They welcomed us with open armes and invited us into their small homes, gave us their best food, mattresses and blankets and tried to help in any way they could (all without couchsurfing ;-)).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of ballroom dancing, but I haven't danced in a while. Also a bit of playing guitar, just the basic chords. And how to spin firepoi, if you have firepoi and lamp oil.

Apparently I'm good at minimising, so if you feel like you have too much stuff, I'm happy to help you sort through it (see the reference I got from Adam).

I also like learning new songs and cooking new recipes.
