Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new people! :)

Interests

My friends have described me as being unsatisfiably curious and even an obsessive reader....To give you an impression, here are some topics of books that I have recently read: the rise of communism in China, the evolution of the human eye, the genocide in Rwanda, the neuroscience of language, the psychology of belief in weird things, programming in Python, Pablo Picasso, Paul Erdős, Amy Poehler (= awesome!!!), Malcolm X, Thomas Hobbes, Shakespeare's sonnets, and I could go on for a bit.

Besides reading, I also have a genuine interest in people; I love being around my friends and meeting new people, preferably while playing table tennis or having a nice cup of coffee. You don't have to talk books with me though: I'm a sucker for small talk (yes, please tell me about silly things your childhood pet has done and what kind of bread is eaten in your home country, I'd like to know!)
