ABOUT ME

A nice german mate who likes to see the world and help people seeing it.

I don't like to put people into groups, but on the first superficial look I am probably something like a greenish, vegetarian, queer, young student who deep inside got this ridiculous hope of a good world for everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to live quite sustainable. Greenish, I guess.

I reckon there's another thing which says a lot about my personal philosophy: while waiting for the train in a Melbourne train station I saw a large graffiti tag "Be Good" and was somehow deeply moved by it. Took a picture of it and now it's framed and standing my room.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment living from my CS memories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I went to live in Paris I hosted a french guy for about a week in my flat in Berlin and took him to meet my friends and stuff. In Paris he helped me a lot with finding an apartment, meeting people, organized even some hosts for me in the time I was still looking for an apartment. Oh, and by the way: he became a friend in all this time.

I later also met couch surfing people just for drinks, hosted more people, surfed in other places (Dublin, Norway, Boston, London). In general: Pretty good experiences!

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music from quite a lot of different styles, always depending on my mood!

Movies... hardly watch them when I'm alone. More like a social thing for me, although I like to watch sitcoms while eating alone (lately I am quite a lot into the Cybill series from the 90s...). Actually there's still a shitload of movies I have to watch and always open for suggestions of movies or movie nights!
Oh, and I tend to like to watch movies in their original language, if I am able to understand it (so it's basically German or English at the moment ;=)).

Books: depending on the mood as well. Quite lately much university stuff, you know, boring stuff like sociological stuff and the like. Don't mind a good fantasy book or novel for relaxing and taking it easy either. I read in German and English and started some french ones lately...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Skydiving!

I went to Australia for almost a year and did the whole backpacking stuff. That was an extremly amazing experience for a 19 year old guy who just graduated from school!

I am also fascinated by human interaction. Social life is so complex in so many different ways that I am always surprised how we actually manage to live together as a group, as community, as a society. Coming from that, I reckon, that every day can be something fascinating.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I always wanted to know how to knit. ;=)
