About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding a mission.

ABOUT ME

I am very tall, very clumsy and often very lost.
Also, I have regular sociophobia attacks, can talk a lot of nonsense and excel at being naive. Currently I am vegantarian (or on and off vegan :o) and I love to experiment with food (I absolutely adore food). Not to forget beer and mead!
I am a nature-loving hippie dressed in black and I long to live a sustainable life in compassion, even though I'm not very good at it yet.
But most of all I love to learn something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, gain new friends or just share some experiences. There are not very many things I can give but I really hope to learn a lot and get new perspectives on things!

Interests

Music, Literature & Poetry, Nature, Cultures & Languages, Photography

I used to play fistball before I moved but now I try to motivate myself to go for regular runs in the forest and I hope to one day get my body into a condition that I can start some kind of martial art without dying...
Also, I suck at playing guitar and accordion.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, especially (Pagan) Folk and any kind of Metal or Hard Rock; currently fangirling around Doom, Death and Black Metal a lot. Just anything I need to satisfy my different moods - if it is either dreaming away, getting lost in melancholy, dancing weird shamanic dances, feeling alive or shaking off anger. I don't like narrowing it down :o)

I still got tons of books unread in my bookshelf but I like Mythology and Terry Pratchett (may he forever beat DEATH in chess)! I enjoy poetry a lot but I never really take the time to sit down and really indulge in it so for now Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 is about as far as is gets.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exchange year to Finland.

Watching 8 seasons of Doctor Who in 10 days. So much for living a life...

Carpetsurfing, dammit.
