About Me

Salut,

Living in a shared flat of around 20 people, so if you come to stay with me, you obviously won't be staying with me only.
I'm new in the city, so I won't be able to teach you details or show you the secret spots, however we may of course get around a bit. But if you'd like to be a bit on your own, don't feel obligated to stick with me.

My main hobbies are volleyball and playing the piano. But at this moment I sadly don't have to much time to practice them
Volleyball is just real fun, but music is my real "love" (god, that sounds pathetic).
I have taken classical and jazz piano lessons for quite some time and can´t decide, whether i prefer the world of Miles Davis or Beethoven's.

I'm interested in quite a lot of stuff: music&arts obviously, but as well physics, the environment, food, politics and sociology.
I'm usually eager to learn from you! I consider myself more of a listener than a talker, though that does not mean I will rest silently not speaking a word.

Movies i like: "Life of Brian" & "The Meaning of Life", "Im Juli", "The talented Mr. Ripley", "Fight Club", "Pulp Fiction", "Poulet au Prunes" - I don't know many movies, but i always enjoy watching a good one, funny or sad or both,but preferably with some depth.

Books: I never was a very passionate reader. But I still read some books.
However when I found Wolfgang Herrndorf I stopped books written by anyone else. On my way to recover from that, help me find medication.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping on a tower in a swamp, freezing my ass off.

Watching through "God´s Window" in South Africa.

Playing the C# minor prelude by Rachmaninoff on a Steinway D.

Dancing Salsa on a German-Colombian wedding.

Teach, Learn, Share

If there is one, i can teach you a bit of the piano (and show you some exercises to repeat as often as possible).

Also i know how to cook some meals; but i'd equally love to learn some new recipes and cooking ideas.

I enjoy discussions with a political or philosophical character. Hopefully both parties get to profit from them.

I'd totally love to learn Go!! :) I'd equally enjoy to learn some meditation skills, music instruments, mathematical formulas, social theories or whatever you appear to be good in and willing to teach:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, talking, maybe some music. Being calm and flexible.
