About Me

I am ironic, social, quite crazy.
I love to discuss life, poltics, social matters, to understand ideals, philiosophy, humankind.
I like to dance. Often weird and crazy.
Every year I try to do stuff the first time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got interested after my neighbour told me that couchsurfing is a good platform to experience travelling with a deeper insight into people and country far off the usual hostel-backpacker-thing.

Interests

Art.
I love strolling around art museums - preferentially modern art.
The last bigger exhibition I went to was Biennale in Venice last year. I remember walking through th big wide rooms and suddeenly pausing in shocking excitement in front of A. Bircken's "escalation". The rise and fall of humans, a desperate attempt of fleeing from civilization (at least this is how I interpreted the scenario)..

Music.
I love listening to music. All day, several nights. It‘s the energy that keeps me going, it's the banket I need for comfort. It's distraction from and guidance to myself.

Food.
I love talking about food, texture, taste, look, sometimes when I’m bored or sad or hungry I google Vietnamese dishes..

These were the basics but I get interested into new things easily.
I used to take pictures with film...
I love my racing bike Hans at the moment
I used to practice Yoga
I wrote a cooking book
I have started playing ukulele but i only manage to learn only the four necessary chords of creep....but well I'll still have time to establish myself as the new born star of ukulele player.
... there is much to see, explore, understand....

Music, Movies, and Books

Radiohead.
Is definately the best. I'm such a groupie it kind of makes me feel embaressed admitting this unless I find out the other one loves radiohead as well...

Fight Club
Best scene when he beats himself up in order to blackmail his boss
In the Mood for Love
I love the moment he shares the secret in Ankor Wat

Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
There are phrases so beautifully written that I loose myself in the sound of the words without grasping the content...
At the moment I'm reading Garcia Marquez.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach u how to make super tiny origami boats :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love sharing and collecting stories.
Sad ones, funny ones, crazy ones.
I love to cook and eat. Just do everything with the maximum of devotion.
I love to do small betting games in which the other ends up drinking wodka with vinegar and cinnamon (always be open to new tasting experiences)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Cambodia, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Myanmar, Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States, Viet Nam
