avoiding to think of the end of student life

ABOUT ME

I enjoy life even though I sometimes almost lose faith in humanity! Keeping a good sense of humor is one good tool to endure what humans do to each other every single day. I am an outgoing person, most of the time in a happy, cheerful, energetic mood with a positive spirit. As we, the members of couchsurfing probably all do, I love to travel and meet people who live in other places of this magnificient world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I made incredibly wonderful experiences with couchsurfing hosts and hosting. Our flat is spacious but full with people at the moment, so drop me a message and I will let you know in case the couch is free.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In danger of repeating myself: very, very positive couchsurfing experiences

Interests

I am interested in politics, especially in inequality and ideas and ideology that tries to solve it. As I think there has not yet been found a perfect solution I love to discuss for hours trying to find new oportunities to create a societey where we all want to live in.
I love to read, philosophic books as well as novels, classics or just books full of worlds of fantasy.
A big part of my life is my shared flat - the people I live with. It is like a small commune, and I cannot think of another - better- way to live. The culture demanding part of me loves to see independent movies, art like basquiat or dali and enjoys playing theater and seeing plays.
For a balanced life i need activity. I enjoy pretty much everything that demands me to move. Not only am I a pationate skyier, I also love to surf, to go on the slack line, to run, to bike, to climb...only swimming ends up far down at the bottom of the list. Its always a fight. Me or the waves...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tunis is still on my mind. The organized chaos of the city center coupled with the hub of the World Social Forum was just beautiful. A very special moment in time to have been there.

Travelling through parts of South America with only a very blurry route and very limited money paired with a lack of language skills was maybe the most intense journey I have done so far. I tell you more about it when we meet :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to listen to storied about traveling experiences and share mine, since I think this is one of the best ways to learn. I would love to learn to be more patient although I have been making progress. For the teaching part I could tell you how to laugh a lot, especially about yourself (very important quality to have Ibelieve).I worked as a projectionist in a movie theater and could teach you to project a movie the old school way - although everywhere they now replace the cool projectors with digital equipment :( - so my expertise would not be of much help anymore.
A more boring answer would be: come join the class I am teaching at University.
