I am 26 years old, can't stop exploring new types of music, love to meet new people and gain an insight in their lives. I would describe myself as an emphatic listener. Oh, and I really like food :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Had so many amazing hosts and guests and I really identify with the spirit of CS - and paying it forward!

Interests

I enjoy all types of music, especially when it is with guitars! I play piano and drums. Maybe we can jam together?

Internet and Politics. Sounds theoretical and boring but I can talk for hours about how information systems are changing our lives, in a good and a bad way. Think of books and Media like "The Circle", "Black Mirror" and "Mr. Robot".

On top of that, I really like to travel and meet people from other countries (But i think, that all of you are here because of that!)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies

I really like the work of Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan and in general movies that have a sort of subtext and make you think - less then arthouse but way more then the 10th car chasing action underdog movie...

Some examples: V for Vendetta, A Clockwork Orange, The girl with the dragon tattoo, La vita è bella
Memento, The Limits Of Control, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Gone Girl

Music

Lots of stuff, mostly guitar orientated, but recently I fell into the rabbit hole of good melodic techno (Look up Worakls, N'to, Joachim Pastor or anything by Hungry Music - amazing folks!). Some Bands I like in no particular order:
La Dispute, System of a down, Noisia, Defeater, Basement, Billy Talent, The Upbeats, Rise Against, Maybeshewill, Brontide, Ska-P, Gogol Bordello..

Books
Umph.. A lot! Mostly non-fiction though - I dig all things technology and futurology related. Payback by Frank Schirrmacher is a good example.
In fiction I really enjoy a good laugh - The Hitchkers Guide to Galaxy and all other Books from Douglas Adams are some of my all time favorites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is way to much to choose from.. Fireworks in Venice, found friends in Serbia, hiking in the Himalajas, studied abroad in Hungary, seen a Broadway Show and so much amazing Art in New York, fell in Love with New Zealands nature, enjoyed the beaches in Fiji...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach playing drums, piano and any computer related stuff. If you are interested in increasing your privacy online I am glad to help!

Also I'm really interested in politics and love to know about peoples opinions (like, seriously interested and not judging or trying to start of an argument) - I'm fascinated how we organize living together on this little rock called earth and how many different approaches there are!

Things I would really like to learn is playing the guitar and drawing - i still draw like a five-year-old!

What I Can Share with Hosts

In my Hometown I can guide you around and point out the "local spots". If time allows, I can also do a little city tour for you! I can really recommend going to the Cologne Zoo where I work, if we are going together you can get in for free!

I love to cook and learn about foods, always up for trying something new! I'd be more than happy to cook something together and share a meal (although I don't like to eat meat or fish but it's perfectly fine if you cook / eat it) ! Also I like Beer and bringing it with me.. You know, german thing ;)
