About Me

Like everybody else in CS, I would consider myself as an open minded, curios and social person, blabla. During day time, you'll most likely find me listening to music (several hours a day), playing some instrument or, unfortunately, wasting time in the internet (or working..). Night time is different, find me at concerts, cozy bars or technoclubs (or obviously in bed...). Besides that, I spend a lot of time with travelling, mainly to more or less big cities or some weird Asian country. I also like philosophing about anything, like social themes, science, music, culture, politics...

PHILOSOPHY

1. Balance over extremes: E.g. Rationality-Irrationality, Safety-Freedom, Egoism-Altruism, Hedonism-Health
2. Grow every day (metaphorically!)

If somebody wants to stay at mine, please write in the request the best thing that happened to you within the last 7 days, just to ensure you read my profile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You get deeper into culture and mentality of the country/city, see hidden sights, and most of all feel more like living somewhere else rather than just visting the place and, obviously, save money. And it`s fun showing strangers your city :)
Also, I'm strongly opposing the new spirit of Couchsurfing, it shouldn't be (only) about dating! If you're nice, I will host you, no matter the gender :)

Interests

I wouldn`t say I could write a book about it, but I`m curious about history, philosophy, politics, arts, psychology, social stuff and anything thats kind of weird or unusual. I also like those themes that are perfect to discuss about instead of agreeing with each other and those, that are about thoughts that never came into my mind. I love making and listening to all kinds of music. Since a few years I`m also trying to educate myself with fine arts, don`t know too much about it though...

But also Trip Hop, Synthwave, Post Punk, Funk, Dreampop, Blues, New Soul, Grunge, Fusion, Hippie Stuff...

Movies: That`s difficult to explain but basically I watch everything as long as it`s not a german comedy movie, a horror movie or a silly Hollywood action movie. I also like French and Scandinavian movies. I try to know all classics.

I wouldnt describe myself as a really literary person but I'm currently reading mostly philosophical stuff, e.g. Friedrich Nietzsche and Herman Hesse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate 3 chips and didn`t wanna have a 4th one.
There`s also a lot of storys that start with "When I was in India...".

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you music instruments, nightlife, bands, psychology, politics, languages, cooking...
I want to know anything about different cultures (the weirder, the better!) philosophy, get to know new bands and improve my music, cooking and language skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In my opinion, theres some things that are a natural course of action if I sleep at somebodys place:

I help with housework

I share the costs of daily live
