About Me

Endless curiosity. Miss travelling whenever I want now that I have some work and responsibilities (she's 3). On couchsurfing for 13 years. )

I get caught up in my own thoughts/daydreams a lot. I don't like making decisions fast (love restaurants that just serve one dish) as I overthink and evaluate everything well from all possible perspectives.

[2019 Update] I've also just noticed that my profile description is way less fun to read than I once thought it was. Just read some of my references below to find a more convincing description that hopefully convinces you that you want to meet me.

PHILOSOPHY

"I do truly believe in love. But the only way to find it is to be yourself at all times."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Host for unemployment benefit recipients, children with children and less well-off people with reality show experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was hosted in London, Paris, Brighton, New York, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Brussels, Prague, Rome, Tallinn, Doha, Strasbourg, Reims, Lille, Luxembourg, Istanbul, Büyükada, Puerto Vallerta, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico City, Oaxaca & Berlin and hosted my first CouchSurfer in Aspach in 2010: Beck Oush! 2nd place went to little Mexican girl called Paulina.

Interests

First and foremost I am interested in people and their hopes, dreams, worries, goals and passions. When I travel I want to meet locals and get their perspective on life. That's why I love hitchhiking, staying with locals or meeting them.

Constantly searching the web interesting concerts, movies, experiences - or other events. Interested in design, data, maps, dreams, culture, politics, conflicts, technology, nature, beer, urban exploration, lifelong learning and people.

Hitchhike-Experience: Intermediate (~10.000km).

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Finding Neverland, Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Låt den rätte komma in, The Man From Earth, La science des rêves, Under the Skin, Memento, District 9, The Lobster, Se7en, I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK, Requiem for a Dream, Grizzly Man, In Bruges, Adams æbler, Coraline.

Books:
The Hobbit, Hatchet, Kafka, Chuck Palahniuk - especially Choke, The Gospel according to Biff, Survivor, 1984, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter.

Music:
Mostly rap: Punk-Rap, Emo-Rap, Terrorist-Rap, Indie-Rap, etc. JAW, Rynerrr, Maeckes, DNP, Pimpulsiv, Hollywood Hank, Eminem, Prinz Pi, Atmosphere, Immortal Technique, B.o.B, Alligatoah, Casper, Syntheciser. I'm pretty open to give everything a shot, but If you call "death-metal", "house-music" or something similar your favourite and ONLY genre of music we probably will have a hard time finding something we both enjoy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was drunk and ended up crashing at the place of one of my favorite artists after the concert, who showed me some songs from an album months before they were released.

Lived for two months as a guardian in a crazy flatshare with 40 people in Wincott Street, London.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to use this thing called internet.
