CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying every day of my life

ABOUT ME

I am always interested in meeting people from all over the world, open-minded and in a good mood. I love music, arts and hanging around with friends. My passion is writing (for myself and as a journalist) and painting (just for myself). At the moment, I work as a journalist. In general I love to be goofy as a child and to do what I am actually afraid of.

PHILOSOPHY

Spreading positive energy :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Especially during my trip to India I realized how nice and important it is to be welcome - I want to give something back and the CS Project is a good way to do so!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed several times and it was always a very good experience.Its the best way to meet people and get a real view on the place they live.

Music, Movies, and Books

Food: I love Italian dishes - la dolce vita, I am abnormally good in eating and enjoying very hot Indian food, I love arabic food (I am addicted to Tahini)

Movies: simply amazing: "Waltz with Bashir", Jim Jarmushs "Broken Flowers" about the simple tragedies in life, Woody Allen Movies - most of the time worth to see, there are a lot of brilliant german movies - one of my favorites: An insight view in the Indian society and good entertainment: "Slumdog Millionaire", my favorite cinema-storyteller: Tim Burton...

I love music which is hymnal, rousing and melancholic - Some names: Kings of Convinience, Klezmer, Regina Spector, The Cure, Alexi Murdoch, Beirut, Kate Nash, OK Go, Ratatat, Blur, Radiohead, The White Stripes, The Prodigy, Lily Allen, M.I.A., The Verve, Eels, Morrisey, Travis, The Knife, Röyksopp, The Dodos, Coldplay...

Right now I read most of the time non-fiction because of my studies - but I love to read whenever possible. I prefer writers who are able to tell simple stories in a brilliant way - and crazy stories in a simple way. Some of my favorite authors are Franz Kafka, Haruki Murakami, Albert Camus, Carlos Ruiz Zavon, Harry Mulisch and Thomas Mann. I also love to read poems once in a while - I adore Mascha Kaléko..
