CURRENT MISSION

yalla!

ABOUT ME

i like to talk, chill, write, read, dive, climb, travel and party. i love peanut butter and huge thunder lightnings. i don't like ignorance, racism and tennis socks (but i'm a bit more tolerant towards the latter than the former). my favourite drink is 'tequila bad boy' (you lick tabasco instead of salt). when i grow up i want to be peter pan or huckleberry finn.

PHILOSOPHY

stay gold, ponyboy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

always up for dinner, drinks or coffee. and hosting, if time allows.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

jack-johnson-style...

Interests

pop culture, international politics, debates on justice, british sitcoms, modern art...well, actually about everything but space (astronauts, star trek etc.)

Music, Movies, and Books

music: right now i got my roots cd (how i got over) playing, bob dylan is next in line, then mgmt...quite a cocktail i'd say. oh yeah, not to sound pretentious or anything, but i honestly believe that beethoven's 7nd symphony, 2nd movement holds the world in its entirety.

moviewise i can give you my personal oscars:
2015: '71
2014: boyhood

books: i grew up in mississippi and neverland with huck and peter, visited uncle tom in his cottage, never killed a mockingbird and caught up with the catcher in the rye only to learn about the life according to garp. in my twenties i stumbled across jonathan franzen, zadie smith, naguib mahfouz, milan kundera, nick hornby, t.c. boyle, aravind adiga, irvine welsh, truman capote and chimamanda ngozi adichie. thanks to [...], good books stay with you forever.
