I’m sincerely curious about other people and always want to learn new things. When I’m together with others, my personality is lively and cheerful. But even then, I’m not a night owl - well, I’m German ;) I think that I would be a pretty tidy guest because I don’t drink or smoke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to discover the world - not just from a simple touristic viewpoint, but also from the viewpoint of someone who lives in this specific region.
If you are coming to London, write me! I just moved here recently and would love to check out the city with you. Unfortunately, due to the abysmal tininess of my room, I can't host anyone but we could still meet up, I would love that!

Interests

Reading!

Learning new languages

Playing guitar

Playing piano (but I’m not too good at it)

The theater (If you’re interested, we could visit a theater play together, that would be pretty awesome! It doesn’t matter if it’s Molière or Tennessee Williams, everything suits me. )

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Swing & Jazz, in particular Vocal Swing from artists like Frank Sinatra or Michael Bublé. (Some years ago also Pop-Punk and Metalcore)

Films: Inception, Hot Fuzz, The Nightmare Before Christmas, ... I like everything which gives off the impression to want to be „relevant“ and not just another multi-million-dollar-blockbuster.

Books: Well, since I used to study literature, I truly read a lot and my favorite book changes all the time. Lately, I’ve been reading many classics; „Bleak House“ by Charles Dickens was for example one of these books which really blew my mind! The last superb book I read was „The Goldfinch“ by Donna Tartt.

When I was younger, I also used to read a lot of Stephen King's works, J.K. Rowling, Joe Hill, Carlos Ruíz Zafón, Nick Hornby, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to do „Poetry Slam“ and I worked for a year in a workshop for the mentally disabled, which was truly a lifechanging experience and one of the most important things I ever did!

Teach, Learn, Share

Obviously, I could teach you German - but since I also speak English fairly well (nonetheless, I’m faaaar from being an expert!) I could also act as a partner to practice speaking this language. Or why not some chord grips on the guitar or magnificent tips on literature and movies? ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m sincerely interested in other people and always like to make a connection with new people on a personal level. I also believe that I’m a great listener. Furthermore, I’m sure I could give you a feeling of how awesome your life is, because I would be saying all the time „Boah, cool! Radical!“ ;)
