An open-minded person that loves travelling through European cities on a budget. I am quite spontaneous and interested in meeting new people. I am especially interested in exploring the cities by foot and seeing them from the local´s perspective. Furthermore I like experiencing the nightlife, especially the dancefloors, of each city I visit. What I love the most about exploring: embracing and capturing the new surrounding with all my senses.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see new places from the perspective of a local - on the whole: I want to see cities/places offside the touristy track!

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer Britpop, Indiepop/rock, Rock, Electronic and Folk music, but I am up for many other good music, especially when it´s played live and on festivals! Oh - and I like musicals and operetta, too.

Most of my favourite movies are based on either true (personal) stories or historical facts. But mostly I watch indepented movies and non-Hollywood-blockbuster-movies, like Grand Hotel Budapest, Only Lovers Left Alive, 500 Days of Summer, etc.

Well, with books - I mainly prefer specialist reading, like books on crafts, art and design. If I read "literature", I prefer reading funny murder mystery, english books or crazy novels.
