About Me

Sometimes confident, sometimes anxious, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, always humorous, always sarcastic, always open-minded, never thinking that I am right

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the sharing spirit of the Couchsurfing community - giving something to people like a place to sleep without expecting anything in return ... something I miss in our society

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I think bad music does not exist. I listen to Rock, Punk, Alternative Metal, Tropical House, Drum and Bass, Reggae, Classic, Hip-Hop, just to name a few...

Some artists I like:
Irie Revoltés , Yiruma, System of a Down, Billy Talent, Flogging Molly, Bob Marley, Käptn Peng, Avicii, Kygo, Neuromonakh Feofan (Russian Folk Drum and Bass - please try it 😂)

Books:
Besides travelling, I think reading is the best way to understand the world and myself. Hesse and Dostojewski are my favorite writers and I love the Harry Potter books so much that I wanted to have Hermione as my girlfriend when I was 12 years old (actually still want to)

My favorite books:
Siddhartha, Der Steppenwolf, Demian - Hermann Hesse, The Picture of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde, 1984 - George Orwell, Die Harzreise - Heinrich Heine, The Idiot - Fjodor Dostojewski, Daodejing - Laotse
and of course all Harry Potter books ;-)

Films:
I always prefered books instead of films, so one sentence I hear at least once a week is: ''You don't know THIS movie???'' My favorite movie is Back to the Future, Pulp Fiction is also a nice one and the soundtrack of interstellar is a masterpiece

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving - 5 years ago now but i can still feel it like yesterday

Hertha Berlin vs Hamburg in year 2005 and my first time in a football stadium. Hamburg went in front in first half, my favorite player was sent off, I cried, punched my father and wanted to go home - second half Hertha turned into a win. Sheesh

A wheelchair user in Glasgow who was so drunk that he was driving in circles - got to love the scottish people

Travelling alone and creating an international network of friends which is growing bigger and bigger :))

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm ... I might teach you something about tea, some basic drum 'n bass dancing skills, how to make the worlds best mashed potatoes (grandmother's recipe ;) ) ...

We could share travel experiences, a cup of tea, humor of any kind (one of the best feelings in the world is when you are close to suffocation because you can't stop laughing), discussions about the meaning of live ...

I want to learn about stories and experiences about hitchhiking (never done it before but I'm really interested), so if you are an experienced hitchhiker your chance that I'll host you is high :-) ... oh yeah and if you've been to africa once I want to know everything about that! Africa is one of my dream travel destinations
