Easy-going, open-minded, positive, restless... and always looking forward to having a good laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn, to exchange, to understand, to laugh, to grow.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I like Dostojewskij a lot... furthermore I adore Philip K. Dick, Kafka, Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski.

Movies: I like movies of Hitchcock, Wong Kar Wei, Shion Sono, Michel Gondry, Wes Anderson, Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick... Favourite movies are: Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, Papillon, Onibaba, Head-On ("Gegen die Wand"), Cold Fish, Barry Lyndon, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind, Ran, Aaltra (special tip!!)

Music: When I go out, I prefer Electronical Music. But I also like Rock for Party-ing. Furthermore I am a great admirer of the Beatles and Ludwig van Beethoven. Altough it's quite tough to dance in a club to classical music ;) Nevertheless, I'm not really as pretentious as this list makes me sound.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in New York 2008, I was standing in front of the Dakota Building, the former home of John Lennon, when all of a sudden a limousine stopped at the entrance gate. Out of the car came Yoko Ono. She saw me (with my Groupie-ish Beatles Shirt) and smiled, when she entered the building. It was such an incredible coincidence and I was so happy about it. Actually I'm still excited when I think back to that occassion :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach english & german.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can share is my Sense of humour, my teaching possibilities in German and English, and the state of my "Human being". Hmm, sounds a little Hippie-esk, doesn't it? Well, I'm not (altough I don't have got anything against them :) ... I'm just an open minded World Citizen with a lot of experiences and a sharp view to all the marvellous (and not so marvellous) things in this world.
