I think one can get along with me ;-) I mean to be very open minded and reflect on my actions and I like considerate people and try to be considerate myself. I was told that I'm easy to talk to and uncomplicated. I like to talk but also need my quiet time. Also I am very honest which is mostly a good thing and only sometimes a little bit too straightforward I guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's simply the best way to get around! You get to know at least some of the locals and by getting their advice, you often get to know the place a lot better than just with your lonely planet or whatever. Also you can take more and longer trips because you don't need that much money.
Sharing is caring and it gives me a good feeling.

Interests

I obviously like to travel :-) If by plane, by ship, by car or by bus, (by horse would be interesting) I like to get to know new places. Other than that I'm interested in sociology and political theory and in learning languages wehen I have time. I love nature and animals - especially horses . I like to cook and eat, to engage in interesting conversations and to watch all kinds of series - sometimes all day long :-P
I like my job a lot but at times it can be exausting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to Alt-J, Death Cab For Cutie, London Grammar, Tocotronic and Nils Frahm for example. I like to dance to electronical dance music. I'm pretty much open to various genres. Depends on my mood and the qualitiy of the song. I even got to love Reggeaton when I was in Nicaragua ;-)

Movies that come to mind are "Leon the Professional", "Juno", "It's Kind Of A Funny Story" and "Into the Wild". I like intelligent short films, movies with the right amount of humour and action, movies where they break into stuff.

TV-shows I've seen and liked are "Dark Angel", "The Gilmore Girls" and "O.C. California" in my younger years, "Six Feet Under", "Friends", "Scrubs", "Lost", "HIMYM", "The Big Bang Theory", "Homeland", "Orange Is The New Black" etc.

Books I liked were "The Parfum", "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi, "The Art Of Loving" by Erich Fromm among many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one amazing year in Nicaragua and climbed some marvellous volcanos which was pretty exausting but totally worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

- Always ask why: "Why does it have to be that way?", "Why does a person act the way he or she does?" Nothing is ahistorical. We are all formed by (our) history.
- "It's tradicion." is not the best argument.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My point of view I guess :-P
I can cook ok and am also always glad to bring a six-pack of beer.
