About Me

***Note: Profile was last updated in 2012 or so. A couple of things changed but I'm mostly the same I think. Is there even people who are still on Couchsurfing? Hit me up if you wanna go to shows or nature around Berlin! (: ***

ABOUT ME

this is major tom to ground control,
i'm stepping through the door
and i'm floating in the most peculiar way
and the stars look very different today

for here am i sitting in a tin can, far above the world
planet earth is blue and there's nothing i can do

(bowie)

Interests

nothing is more interesting than a good conversation.

..and for the rest of the time: reading, listening to music, just walking around (!), taking photos of old industrial facilities and abandoned buildings, going to the theatre, shows and concerts, watching films, travelling (haha!), hiking, trying new food, drinking coffee, wine, beer, green tea.. (we´re 70% water!); außerdem mag ich die deutsche sprache und bohnensuppe.
