About Me

I live in Berlin Kreuzberg since September 2017. I am sharing an apartment with three guys (two of them are gay). We have a couch in a separate space in the hallway with a curtain in front of it where guests can stay.

I am currently studying cultural studies M.A. and working as an office assistant in Schwules Museum* Berlin (gay museum with the biggest archive of LGBTQIA* in the world and definitely worth a visit). I love pop culture, museums and arts. My current favorite painting is The Realm of Flora by Nicolas Poussin as it gives a different perspective on death as only changing the forms of life and not being the end of it.

Sometimes I love partying and enjoying the nightlife of big cities with cool people but I am not a berghain kind of guy (I really don't like techno).

I am gay in both ways. I try to cheer myself up and deal with my anxieties in a positive way and I love surrounding myself with positive people as well. Oh, yes and I am gay as in homosexual.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am completely new to couch surfing. I used to travel to places where friends moved so I would stay with them but since I moved to Berlin three months ago I would love to check out new places and meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love science fiction and drama, be it in books or in movies. One of my fave books would be Ready Player One, fave movie Clockwork Orange or most movies by Kubrick. I also LOVE Almodóvar movies.

I listen to all kind of music. I am just not into techno, so I am not the typical Berlin guy. I have also never been to Berghain and I am not intending to do so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most exciting thing I have experienced was riding a horse in the Andes while it was raining.
