About Me

Do not be fooled by my low 'response rate'. I used to have a shitty internet connection once.

CURRENT MISSION

humans and such

ABOUT ME

I am generally in a good mood, thoughtful, interested, happy and lively, sometimes somehow confused and nearly always a bit late since I hate to be in a rush, unless it's worth it.

I love to discuss, talk and be with other people, to dance or listen to music, to just relax and watch the sky or..

..read a book.

PHILOSOPHY

It's easy. All you need is love.

I really dislike borders and the concept of national states. They are bothersome to me, you and a lot of other (mostly and especially poor) people.

also: authority. it sucks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To countermine the concept of property!

I just love to meet someone new, regardless where they are from and why they might visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

everything was great. I love Couchsurfing. It made my life international and so much better. thanks to everyone

Interests

Literature, Language(s), Politics, Philosophy, Feminism, Religions and of course to talk and discuss about these subjects in any possible way!

On the other hand, I also love to just hang around and do nothing.

I love The Velvet Underground.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't know what you would consider literature, so it's hard to say: I love Dostojewskij and Bulgakow ('Master and Margarita' and 'The White Guard' are MUST reads!); I love poetry; I love 'philosophical' stuff, mostly French (Foucault, Barthes, Paul Veyne, Sartre) and 'religious' texts like the bible, Jewish mystical and canon texts or Norse or Japanese myths.

(The Beatles) my taste in music isn't stable and depends on the situation. I love to dance to drum n' bass, minimal, goa and such; I love to listen to Kraftwerk or Queen when coming home from work; I love to listen to Jimi Hendrix or Lou Reed when at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many amazing things! Tokyo! La Biennale di Venezia 2013! The Schouw in Rotterdam! Those Berlin Nights...

Teach, Learn, Share

I may be able to teach you some German, both basics and the funny little differences to other languages.

Also, I like philosophy and I'm a feminist. I do talk about this quite a lot.
