PHILOSOPHY

Here, where we live, is already the paradise
The door is present. You have to open it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I brimed over with enthusiasm for the CS2-Project, when I discovered.
It's such a good thing, especially the people already integrated in the CS2-Project which I met sparked my interess.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately NOT. I'm a brandnewcomer.
BUT in my lifetime eitherway had experiences with exchanges.
I did an exchange to Beijing for 2 weeks, to Paris for 3 weeks, to Florianópolis for 8 months.
While these exchanges I learned, besides languages and different cultures, to live with peole which have absolutely different views of the world and still to RESPECT eachother, which is in my opinion the basic condition in our society.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer serious movies, which leave one's mark for example: American History X.
Tom Hanks, Whoopi Goldberg and Julia Jentsch filmed wonderful movies.

I grew up with Reggae, it's positioned very deep.
Thus usually I visit Clubs where's played Reggae, mostly Concious, Dancehall, Ragga and Drum'n Base. But sometimes a Minimal/Jungle-Electro-Club is also welcome in my program.
At home everytime is played music, also a big choice of blues and soul. Tracy Chapman, Manu Chao, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Peter Tosh, Midnite and a great deal of artists more.

My favorite book is the fifth part of Harry Potter. I didn't begin yet with the next parts, because current the biography "Catch A Fire" of Bob Marley written by Timothy White took all my attention.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 8 years old, I rode on a camel.
It was my biggest dream ever. =)
