Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends, learn different cultures and share experiences. Also i just need an international audience for memes and stories xD

I enjoy discovering new things, be it languages, cultures, movies, books or paintings. I spend a fair amount of my free time lurking Reddit and learning unnecessary (until you are in a trivia game xD) facts about the world

• arts
• books
• cooking
• music
• hiking
• languages
• travelling
• cultures
• streetart

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to listen to classic rock exclusively, but Im into different stuff now, the more experimental the better, there was a time when i was crazy about Linkin Park, then Eminem, followed by Gorillaz, followed by J.Cole :D i love La Femme, Odezenne, Baxter Dury and lots and lots of cool music

As for books, I have read many of the 'classics' lately, I've been a dystopian fiction fan for a long while now, that is I love G.Orwell, A.Huxley, R.Bradbury, Zamyatin . Burgess with his Clockwork Orange, too.I also like me some existentialism every once in a while (Camus, F. Kafka and J.P. Sartre. Hesse and Goete)
My attention span is waaaaaay to short for movies but i watch the stuff that is actually good (e.g Fight Club, the Matrix, Enemy, Shawshank Redemption, The Room :D ) loved The Lobster, Baby Driver, and Godard

TV shows: Rick and Morty, Adventure Time, Stranger Things, Narcos, The Office, Nathan for You
Love Sacha Baron Cohen and cringe comedy
