Guten Tag, pleasure to meet you. My name is Stefan and I currently live in Berlin. Right now I'm finishing my media studies and intend to enter the media market as a copywriter/journalist/something with media-person. I love living in Berlin, but sometimes I need a break from the uniformity and uber-hipness of the people here. Couchsurfing may be the solution.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the best way to get to know a foreign country. It fills the bare name of the country with life. Not sightseeing spots and pictures of them for the proof of the travel are important while being on the road, but the people. I want to meet inspiring people and save them and our experiences in my brain's memory. Locals can show you their perspective and understanding of life and help to get rid of the clichés you have.

The other truth is: I hate boring and anonymous hotel rooms.

Interests

I'm in general interested in culture. No matter if pop culture, subculture, urban culture. I want to know what's going on in the world and reading a lot of articles, watching documentaries. I often go to the movies, especially to independent cinemas. I'm also a Netflix-subscriber, so interested in good series with interesting narration structures.

I love techno music, spending my summer to go to music festivals and dancing until sunrise (and longer), I also like to go to the races, do you wanna come with me wearing a cylinder or fancy hat?

Music, Movies, and Books

music: TECHNO, 70s/80s radio stations, everything I rate for good (wide spectre, except hip hop and current David Guetta style of EDM music)

films: too much to list, but mainly the ouvre from Hitchcock and Truffaut. Novelle Vague. Italian Neorealism. One of my top movies popping up to my mind: Apocalypse Now, Amadeus, Fargo.

books: Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Christian Kracht

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good bottle of wine or spirit of his or her choice and my pleasant company. I could try to cook (emphasis on try) something delicious - and do also the dishes afterwards.
