My main passion is helping other people and animals. All my life revolves around that. I volunteer in various ways, organise Effective Altruism meetups, donate and raise money for carefully selected charities. Btw, if you'll allow me to save money by hosting me, that money will be donated to a selected charity. You can even choose the charity yourself but we'll discuss it :)

I also want to have as many different experiences as possible, try everything at least once, get out of my comfort zone. I especially like having long discussions/conversations about beliefs, approach to life, philosophy, psychology, future of humanity etc. I also like exploring depths of silliness, playing basketball/football/volleyball, doing anything unusual. I meet new people by sitting with a "Free conversations" sign in public places.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I was told it's an awesome way to meet cool people, see the world and have adventures. Why on earth would anyone not be on Couchsurfing?

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I like all kinds of music, from experimental to pop. My favorite band is The Magnetic Fields. I love to dance freely and chaotically, especially with other people.

I mostly read books on psychology and philosophy, though I prefer articles because they usually express ideas more succinctly. Not much of a fiction fan, though I do watch a movie once in a while, mostly comedies. Mary and Max is my favourite

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I gave a pledge at https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/ to donate at least 30% of my income to charities I consider to be the most effective. And I've been keeping the pledge for 2 years now.
