since i started to travel more and more, i got friend around the world so now i usually travel not to see places, but to visit people or do workshops. since then i use it more as a platform to meet people or find information, then to look for couches.

Interests

i like strange and relaxed people. i like to drink, to dance and to have fun. i like shadows and reflections. i like feeling the sun on my face. i like speaking without thinking about speaking. i like being quiet without having the force to speak. but i like to speak. to listen. to philosophize. i like going without shoes. i like all kinds of food and feeling many tastes in my mouth. i like art, which is not in the museum. i like funny people and shy people. i like fascination.
i like doing things, instead of to think or talk about doing it.

i also like photography and films and making short movies became a kind of profession..

Music, Movies, and Books

movies, that make me smile, thinking, cry, that show me the magic of life, that remind me of myself, that experiment but still entertain.
some directors: jim jarmusch, tim burton, haneke, woody allen, jean pierre jeunet,...argh no, they are not the best. i hate lists. but love lists.

what a great invention is music.
i like acoustic music in the style of songwriters like norman palm, electronic and electroswing like caravan palace, as well as rocknroll from georgie fame to the pink floyd , blues and swing especially live, spanish music like amparanoia, latin music like calle 13 and even lots of genres i didnt know that i like.

by all that passions there is not so much time left to read. sometimes i read the standard or die zeit. i like books that teach me something. hummmm you know amelie nothomb? read her! or i also love dramas from sartre or everything by hermann hesse... and those email-relationship-novels by daniel glattauer...why not
