CURRENT MISSION

In one word: Inspire! I especially love to show beauty to other people, be it in music, art, ideas or anywhere else.

ABOUT ME

I love music, summer, great food (no McDonalds ... PLEASE), people, of course travelling, and a lot more. I've seen the world, but not enough of it! As a hobbyist bartender I sometimes make cool cocktails.
I'm also a digital wizard.
I have been told that I have no idea what effect I have on others. I would agree violently.
I consider my formal education the least important part since I'm mostly self-taught, but I have a diploma degree in media computer science (roughly equivalent to a master's) and a minor degree in psychology.
My travel description is very incomplete. I've been to many places and feel a bit lazy about updating it accurately ... doesn't really matter, does it?

PHILOSOPHY

I'm here to enjoy life and share the positivity. Also, I think it's important and interesting to view things from many different angles. Look behind the eyes of the person in front of you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host people, show them the city (especially the fabulous Neustadt where I live), cook for/with them, share/listen to stories, music, ...

I like to think of myself as extremely easy-going. If you host me, I'm happy with just a sofa (or even the floor if I bring an inflatable mattress). Nothing else is needed, but everything is appreciated!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing experience has been 100% positive so far, yay! Went to San Francisco, Moscow, Miami and probably some other places.
I also hosted quite a few people in Dresden and only had nice encounters.
Am a bit concerned about airbnb taking people away from here, but I'll stay ;)

My favorite band is probably Archive, they're phenomenal. Apart from that it's really hard to sum it all up. I like almost everything except traditional German music and modern RnB (I also have problems with Jazz, but I like some a lot). So, classical music (Bach!), big beat, psytrance, hip hop, rock, you name it.books: Goedel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter, fight club & stranger than fiction by Chuck Palahniuk, "surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" by Richard Feynman, anything by Stanislaw Lem, Umberto Eco, Kurt Vonnegut, Terry Pratchett, and to a lesser degree Douglas Adams (seriously, if you read the hitchhiker's guide, stop after the second book)Recently I've read "a practical guide to racism" and found it HILARIOUS
