CURRENT MISSION

to steal an original claim to fill in this square

ABOUT ME

I studied special education and german literature. Right now I work for a handicapt woman and keep on writing my doctoral dissertation in german literature.
I´m interested in politics, in watching good films and reading good books, connecting with people and having interesting discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think couch surfing is a great opportunity - to me it means much more than only to find a cheap place to stay (even if this is a quiet interesting point ;-)). I think the greatest thing about it is that you are able to get really an idea of the country or the city that you visit. You meet people who live there and who can show you places you would not have found as a usual tourist and - if you are lucky - you find friends all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like watching movies and listening to music and also talking about it, but I´m afraid I´m never up to date. I don´t know any actors or musicians - so you see I´m not the best interlocutor in that point.
But to give you an impression of what I like, I´ll do a list of books, authors, films and music I prefer:

Books:
Kafka, García Marquez,Christian Kracht, John Irving; Infinite Jest (Foster Wallace), Goethes Faust, Die Vorzüge der Dunkelheit (Ror Wolf)

Films:
Dogville, Synecdoche NY, Caché, Train of Life

Music:
Tocotronic, Tomte, Olli Schulz, Tenacious D., The Cure, Johnny Cash
