About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creating something special

ABOUT ME

When I turned twenty I realized, I hadn't seen any big city in Germany, yet. So I created this accounting order to change that current situation.
I'm a little shy, but warming up pretty fast. People tell me, it's fun hanging out with me... Not sure if that's true, but I hope so! :D
I love getting to know new people, as I'm always interested in long talks and discussions.
I'm interested in all kinds of stuff from sciences, literature and art, to sports, food and music. I'm always open to the personal views people have on life, and I'd love to hear their personal philosophy!
I'm gay and I don't keep it a secret, so if you've got a problem with that, please go and search for another host! ; )

PHILOSOPHY

Since I'm a studying philosophy, I could just write down, too much, but I'd say:
You can never know enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host people in need, but my apartment is just 10 square meters, so there's only a small futon, I can offer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some people stayed at my place for a few days, we went to galleries, had some drinks, visited a few friends and did some partying ;)

I've stayed at one place in Berlin, which was a wonderful experience, and I made some GREAT friends in Heidelberg, while surfing there.

Never made any 'international' experience, though.

Interests

I love arts and music - I'm playing the Erhu and am doing some electronic music -, I love to read, even tho I'm pretty slow at reading, I like dancing and swimming, love to go hiking, seeing movies (not just all that Hollywood stuff, but more artistic movies) and going to karaoke. I'm probably the worst singer ever, but I know a lot of songs... That should compensate for the lack of singing skills!

AND documentaries - I could watch them all day! I don't know why, but I really really love documentaries!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lying on the street in front of the entrance of the Beijing Language and Culture University, watching the sky with my best friend, in the middle of the night

Drinking green tea with some workers, building some temple on the Laoshan Mountain (Shandong, China) and being told the stories of their lives

Dancing in the rain at Munich gay pride

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach German and Chinese, give some drawing lessons, and tell you a lot about Chinese philosophy!

I could probably host a session of some tabletop role-playing game...!

And of course, I can help you to clean your place, buy groceries and that kind of stuff ; )
