Overview
About Me
I like people. Watch what they are doing, hear what they have to say. I still try to understand this world, to see the whole picture, and to think about ways for the future.
With the few I know so far I try to live my life in a conscious way, although I have sometimes a lack of discipline. I'm afraid I can only save the world, if I don't have to do it too early in the morning.
OK, thats it for now.
Too strange to explain myself to the internet.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I got a couch. I got a shower. I got a washing machine.
and if people are in time, i most likely have something ready for dinner.
I help if I can, and I like to share what I have.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I like the idea of sharing. CS is like socialism in a small community. The fact that it works gives me a lot of hope.
Interests
I am pretty much interested in everything, and how it is connected, especially in music. Besides that also philosophy and of course travelling!!
- dining
- traveling
- music
- teaching
- history
Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC: I have a huge vinyl collection with loads of Punk, Hardcore, mtal and all styles of rock but I have also bee DJing for 25 vears now playing Soul,Reggae, Ska, Rocksteady, Jungle and much Golden Era Hip Hop on my Recordplayers, but I am pretty much open for all styles.
MOVIES: EVERYTHING by Wes Anderson, a lot of Jim Jarmusch and Coen Brothers
I love deep and thoughtful movies like Inland Empire, Parasite or Hero, I like good Sci-Fi like Interstellar
And I like dark humor especially if it is from Austria (e.g. Der Knochenmann).
Last movies that imressed me: Poor Things and Zone of Interest.
BOOKS: Lots of different. Right now I am reading a book about Krautrock and something by Benedict Wells.
The last book that really got me was Ein ganzes Leben by Robert Seethaler.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Many.
Having Children.
Working with kids from different cultures.
Travelling places and experiencing different mentalities.
Playing electric guitar cranked up.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a music library! Besides that I don't feel like a person you can learn a lot from. Funny because I am a teacher by profession.
I love to share, especially food.
