About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to be bored --the thoughest challenge lately

ABOUT ME

i am one of the people who dont like these questions. what shall i write and who tells that you would describe me the same way? and then these additions 'be creative, imaginative, wacky ...' result in their opposite. suddenly my mind goes blank. how to describe me the most authentically?

having problems finding words, i thought my floormates might know better and i asked them to describe me with one word. as you can imagine, their answers differed a lot. ..the first one uses emotional, the second one cuts her word screaming i would be too rational, the others find adjectives like alternativ, kind, open-minded, emphatic, always smiling or describes me with 17 words instead: down-to-earth and laid-back girl who loves to cook fresh and homemade food, with a lot of vegetables.
as it is my turn, i decided to go with the word CURIOUS. thoroughly i am a curious person, walking around with the enthusiasm of a small child, open to the oddities in the world, loving to meet new characters, flourishing in the moments i am swept away, ...

PHILOSOPHY

..one who decided to get distracted and in doing so stumbled upon the essentials.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i surfed twice while i was in the united states. and can add now great experiences in scandinavia (norway, denmark) during my semster abroad in 2012. i also cant stop enthuse about the hospitality of polish couchsurfers.

so far i have only been a surfer, since my studies quiet occupy me during the semester and as soon as the exams are done i always packed my backpack and travelled around europe.

i see couchsurfing as a great possibility getting to know locals. this way you are not only seeing a new city or country with its famous sights, but even more important you talk to different nationalities and get a first impression on how the people live in different countries. most of all the world gets closer as you realize in the end all are the same. loving it!

Music, Movies, and Books

-- my current continuous loop -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6yfFWvoygY

my music taste adjusted itself to the weather, calm and cozy. when i go out i like other stuff .. old school hip hop, minimal, drum and bass or dubstep, balcan beats, worldmusic kind of stuff, 20ies, blues.. actually everything that allows me to create my own stories in my mind. even hard core punk with all the engery exploding into the room

and i dont know how i forgot it, but i am a total junky on good electronical music. techno and co. ecetera. ecetera.
