CURRENT MISSION

listen into all directions, and to all kinds of voices

ABOUT ME

Ah, not easy! What to put in such a little box, and how to keep that from slowly making me turn into the person who fits the words I so randomly choose?

Last Monday, someone called me kind. I like that. The week before, someone else called me neurotic - sure, why not, keeps things interesting! (He was referring to my flyophobia... or am I just saying that to sound more normal?)

I'd say I can be a bit of everything - outgoing, reserved, reflected, not so reflected, adaptable, stubborn, accepting or critical - depending on the circumstances. I try to keep a healthy balance. As a general rule, I try to be as happy and grateful and appreciative as I can.

I am better at listening than talking (except with a handful of people) and also better at writing than talking, but sometimes I am too lazy to write, which is when I'll just stare, silently.

PHILOSOPHY

"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of potential -- for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints; possibility never."
- Soren Kierkegaard

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, host, or go for coffees. That said, I don't like coffee, but I'll happily settle for an exciting herbal tea with you. I'd be happy to go rock climbing with you but don't expect the spiderman thing - I've been stuck on 18s and 19s for the past two years (and that's pn a good day full of muesli bars)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my time on Couchsurfing, I have met friendly, openminded people, and shared stories, food, and good conversations. Thinking about it, I've had the odd strange experience as well, which makes for a good story I reckon?

Intereses

I am interested in finding a good balance between work (I study socio-cultural anthropology) and play (hiking, reading, hanging out with friends).

Consumption, spirituality, and community are topics I find fascinating. And earthships just blow me away!

• writing
• singing
• dining
• coffee
• vegetarian
• vegan
• reading
• knitting

• boxing

Música, películas y libros

the last book that i really liked was cormac mccarthy's the road. And recently, "Fräulein Niemand" by Tomek Tryzna; The Other Hand; Witch of Portobello by Coelho.

the early bob dylan & the late john lennon, Spearhead, some world, some dephazz, some more folk, some jazz, some mixtures... I go through phases (and it depends on my mood)

"best boy"; march of the penguins (so happy I am not a penguin!); whale rider; Man on Wire, Grizzly Man, The Visitor, Lemon Tree, Ink

Algo increíble que he hecho

Love the sound a (male) paucar makes: like a really big drop of water that falls onto a watery surface. Glug! Amazing.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I´d love to learn how to knit my own socks! And, I´d like to learn more about permaculture.

If you could teach me how to produce a nice-sounding array of tones (-> sing!), you're a magical genius and I'd be superimpressed.

I can teach you how to make good German stone bread, and vegetarian/vegan food.
