About Me

ABOUT ME

I can hardly describe myself, but so far some constants could be found out: I love change in live, I can`t imagine staying in one place too long, doing the same thing too long. I want everything at the same time, which makes it difficult. I`m curious for the new, I think a lot and often too much, I want to learn every existing kind of dance on earth, still I want to be reborn only a few times more, I need mountains around, unconsciously I worship Yggdrasil, I love a good red wine, life is too short not to eat (zotter) chocolate, and the answer is... 42.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only had good experiences here and even met some of my best friends like this. I hope one day I'll live in a place which is better for hosting.

Interests

-Music!!! (Singing: choir, playing: cello/guitar, dancing: currently folk dance, listening: below.)
- Psychology and philosophy. It's interesting how the mind works - and even more interesting how heart and soul work.
- Books. Books. Books. I might have around 374 that I still haven't read yet. And some that I want to write myself.
-Hiking, walking, travelling - above all, east and north, where there are high mountains or moors and misty forests.
-Flashmobs, improvisation theater and poetry slam.
-Put me in a shop with different teas or chocolates, and you can be sure I'll be happily busy for the next 5 hours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing in the support band for one of my favourite bands ever, drinking kumiss with Kyrgyz nomads, diving with wild dolphins in New Zealand... and dressing up as a swiss swear-word for carneval.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach swiss folk songs, talk with you for hours about philosophical questions, and show you how to spoil wine (people are upset when I mix wine with lemonade, I don't know why). In turn, you could teach me russian and the meaning of life.
