我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only joined CS a couple of days ago. So I guess for instance I didn't do anything to build the community. But this projet seems really interesting to me and I hope to meet a lot of people while travelling through Russia and to host people as soon as I'm living at my own place (and not in a students' hall).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I never couchsurfed before, but I shared my car for travelling (does that count too?). It's really fun to have a nicer company than the newsspeaker on the radio on your way home.

兴趣

I enjoy travelling, playing guitare (and I'm sad that I'm not able to learn songs by heart), playing Carcassonne, riding my bike (but it would be a little dangerous in the centre of Moscou so I prefer to take the Metro or to walk), picking (medicinal) plants and mushrooms, drinking tea (I'm convinced Abwarten und Teetrinken is a great solution for most problems), watching films (I love French and British cinema)...

音乐、电影和书籍

I love the canadian film "fried green tomatoes" (1991). Recent films I really enjoyed are "chansons d'amour"(2007) and "once"(2007).

My favorite authors are Tucholsky, Kästner and Remarque. I'm interested in their books because their warnings in the 1920th turned out true a couple of years later and their topics seem still modern to me.
A russian book I loved and hated is Gontcharovs' Oblomov. Ilija Ilitsch Oblomov is my favorite anti-hero. Gontcharov is an excellent writter (and so was the translator).
