Overview
About Me
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?).
Quite detached from social dogma, always thinking of ways to break free from the "system". Not strong enough to actually pull it off though.
We are the only species on earth able to decide what to eat, so why let other living beings suffer for our appetite? Please, consider the veggie side of life!
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.
Interests
Anything cultural. Listening to music, talking about music, making music.
The word "music" can sometimes be replaced by "literature", "movies", "art".
I like to dive really deep into a chain of thought, no matter where it takes me.
Also, COOKING! its just like producing music, except you can taste the result. I rarely go by recipes though, its always freestyle! I recently started a vegan recipebook, consisting of regular routines in my freestyle cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: anything by Marvel, Lord of the Rings, the Deer Hunter, the Butterfly Effect, Ruby Sparks (I'm trying to get way deeper into underground movies, but I don't find the time to), Any and all documentaries narrated by David Attenborough!
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. And Stuff I cant think of right now.
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.
Also, I always want to learn about not-so-well-known movies and music. if you know anything, share it with me.
From now on Ill always require info on your favourite book and your favourite film ;)
Beyond that: good conversations! about anything! lets talk!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I could definitely cook a meal while I'm around! (unless you REQUIRE meat in your food, then I can't help you, sorry)
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.
