Hii,

I'm Alex, living in Strasbourg in France. I'm Freelancing here as a Sound Designer and eat Crêpes frequently :) i play a lot of guitar (in rock, funk & jazz bands, and on my own, doing freaky stuff), i like to read a lot, watch films and go out, the more spontaneous, the better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i guess the same reason as everybody else. i'd love to visit all of you. ever since i lived in england for 10 months i really feel that the best way to experience different countries and cultures is actually living with people of this country together. I think it's the nicest, friendliest and also most memorable expierence you could have.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oasis, Radiohead, Liars, mars volta, beatles, velvet underground, godspeed you black emperor, connan mockasin, yellow swans, stone roses, spiritualized, slint, psychic paramount, pink floyd, nicolas jaar, MGMT, Mac DeMarco, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, HEALTH, DIIV, Flaming Lips, Weyes Blood, the verve, tim hecker, ariel pink, tame impala, sufjan stevens, king gizzard & the lizard wizard, foxygen, bob dylan, but basically any good stuff (or of course bad stuff too, depending on the mood)

My favorite writers include Dostojewski, Dylan Thomas, Kafka, Tolkien, Camus, Brautigan, and no surprise, many more :D

Oh and Harry Potter is great

Films, hmm.....anything by Terrence Malick, Tarkowsky, Lynch, Kubrick. Coraline, Christopher Nolan films, Scorsese, Edgar Wright, City of God, Grand Budapest Hotel, Stanley Kubrick Films, and so on and so on ;)

In general I love it when you feel that books, music or films 'know more than you', when they surprise you, when they're unique and you get a glimpse of how somebody else in this world, sees this world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- stuck a tongue out to a boar (as you can see in one picture)
- won the first prize in a rubber boots throwing contest when i was 17

yeah i pretty much can't top those 2...

seriously though, I can't pin it down to one single expierence. It's easier to share the millions of wonderful moments in person, and listen to yours as well.
