Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I thought there's this new amazing sport - surfing on couches instead of on boring surfboards. How amazingly out of the box is this? So I, not caring that it is wholly impracticable, had to check it out. No, seriously: I like to think out of the box - to be out of the box. That's why I'm on couchsurfing: new people and experiences that help getting out of the box, which could also be a state of mind or a town.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much and too much in a state of flux. Right now I'm reading Böll, am surprisingly intrigued by the new cartoon "Rick and Morty" and try to find time to watch "2001: A Space Odyssey" from Stanley Kubrik and "In the mood for love" from Wong Kar-Wei.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Today I smiled at the women behind the cafeteria counter. She smiled back.

Teach, Learn, Share

Have a look at my interests. I've studied philosophy, economics and cognitive science. And right now I'm writing my thesis on "intuition" - whatever that is. I'd be pleased to learn about your intuitions!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Uhm...now the right incentives, huh? Lets face it: cookies are yummy but ultimately boring. So what can you expect? A good conversation and genuine gratitude at minimum. If applicable, perhaps some adventure. Probably garnished by cookies and red wine.
