Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Making friends all over the world. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have been travelling since I was a child. With ten years I visited my aunt in Spain for the first time. In former days - before a genius invented couchsurfing - travelling without internet was much more complicated and less rewarding.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies from Pedro Almodovar to Gene Roddenbery - I am interested in all categories of movies except in horror. I love music from all over the world, such as Indonesian Gamelan, Australian Dideridoo or Bolivian flute, percussion and drums I like most. I am enjoying Austrian and German literature, books about psychology and philosophy, such as "Robin Skynner, John Cleese: Life and how to survive it" or "Allan and Barbara Pease: Why men lie and women cry".
