PHILOSOPHY

"Be who you are and do what you wan't, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

I'm introvert and extrovert in parallel, always angry (about mankind), always happy (my life is seriously amazing), always sad (who knows why?).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing takes the money aspect out of the question "where do I sleep tonight" and therefore creates more room for humanity.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Deerhunter, Ruby Sparks, Lord of the Rings, probably others, but I dont really watch anything these days

Music: Anything that doesn't sound like its main purpose is making money. I also have a hard time hearing new music that sounds similar to something I already know. Genres with most focus are:
Post-Rock, Math-Rock, Jazz, (Neo-)Classical Music, Ambient, Noise, Indie, Hardcore-Punk, Techno. Really getting a knack for bedroom pop these days!

Books: Anything by Tolkien, the greatest creator of his own world!
Also deeply in love with the Beat generation and their predecessors and followers, so Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Allan Ginsberg, Henry David Thoreaux and others.
And then theres dystopian literature, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell come to mind, that I need more of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once prevented a woman from allegedly committing suicide. I was passing her with a friend, close to a railroad-crosssection when she suddenly exclaimed " the train passes in 5 minutes, I'll kill myself". We instantly turned around and spent an hour talking to her, asking why, giving her reasons why that might not be a good idea and generally being affirmative.

The lesson: She might not have done it at all, but a person exclaiming the intent of suicide is always asking for help. Don't ignore them, listen! no matter the hurry you're in, this is a life we're talking about, there has to be time for that. and your boss will surely understand ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a musician and would love to teach and learn in that field. I always strive to be introduced to new instruments and how to play them, but I'd also be willing to help anyone play an instrument or just have a jam.

I also strive to be better at fostering community, but have much to learn about organizing!

Beyond that: good conversations! about anything! lets talk!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, thats something Im always happy to do for you!

Of course, we can always exchange swearwords in each others language :D

Also, if you have a guitar laying around your place, but dont know how to play it, I could maybe show you the first steps, to slowly get you going.
