Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing, because I love the idea of connecting people from different countries and cultural backgrounds to enable a process of exchange. The second thing I love about couchsurfing is, that if you come to a city where you have never been you have the possibility to find spots off the beaten tracks (as the beaten tracks do not really represent a city for me) and to really discover and experience a city with people who know where to go.

Interests

Photography, traveling, discovering the thoughts and the feelings of others through books and movies, art, thinking and talking about life in a philosophical way and not just taking things for granted.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to a wide range of music. There is not one genre that I prefer

I like cinema a lot. I'm like watching and watch movies very often. Very open to small productions off Hollywood.
One of my favorite films is the corean production "oldboy", I like a lot David lynch, Jim jarmusch, Felix van Groeningen and much more.

At the moment I'm going through some classics of German and world literature as Hermann Hesse, Huxley, Zola, Orwell...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Observing and being open to the things that happen just around us is probably the most fascinating thing on Earth

"Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where others see nothing" - Camille Pissaro

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share everything that goes around in my head, that I'm thinking about.
There is no specific thing that I think of sharing. I think the process of sharing depends on the person I'm talking with as it's not a unilateral thing.
