Hi! My name is Marcel and I'm on my first very own long-term trip right now in Israel! After a long student life and two years of work in the academic field, I decided it was time to break out and do something completely different: challenging myself, exploring what else exists in this world that might be fun and fulfulling. Introvert breaking out of his shell, so to say ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

as you can see I'm new and I've never really made use of Courchsurfing before, so this is just another attempt to plunge into something new. Best case it broadens my horizon, but just helping me stay alive would be more than a start :]

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book is definitely the Diary of Anne Frank - because it's genuine and emotional and all about life. What a miracle that this diary came to be and actually survived. Also one of the main media things that got me interested in Judaism. Aside from the movie "Prince of Egypt" of course, which is also great and -- ooh, the soundtrack =)

I'm into arthouse! Movies about aged superhero movie stars, female sex addicts, a guy in Paris playing thousands of roles while driving in a limousine -- the crazier, the better.

Non-philosophical:
