I'm this and that. Being around people is very important for me. I like having good conversations (over some drinks), laughing, sharing music, curiosities, ideas, dreams etc. or just spending time together to relax. That's why I'm into Couchsurfing, as I like meeting new people, listening to their life stories and having a good time.
I enjoy intense discussions, interesting texts, analysing and solving problems. If I get frustrated by thoughts, I tend to get sarcastic about them. But most of the time, I don't limit myself to theoretical considerations but appreciate "actual living". I am imaginative - for myself but also in exchange with others.
On the old-school Couchsurfing profile, one was asked what mission one was currently on. I think my mission right now is to invent my adult self while remaining a child at heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has turned out to be my favourite way of getting to know a new place because it connects the space to a person, their character and stories.

Interests

I'm interested in my fellow human beings. I like being able to say that I really know a person and call them a friend. I enjoy getting to know new people. I like to think about how people relate - on a smaller and a bigger scale.
My teen years brought about a lot of going to pubs, dancing at concerts, attending summer festivals and pulling all-nighters - and formed my definition of "having a really good time". So I'd definitely have to add "beer" as an interest here.
I appreciate nature, taking walks and gazing into the sky. Summer fills me with lust for life, winter makes me rather lethargic. In winter I feel like I never wake up the whole day, in summer I can stay up all night and never get tired. But gladly, there are warm beverages and music, movies and books (more about in the next section).

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite Music:

For the last months I have really come to listen to a lot of 80s music, mostly new wave stuff. In general I'm less into contemporary popular music than good ol' music from the 60s/70s/...
I like blues rock in different forms, in general all sorts of guitar music. Especially indie/alternative or shoegaze lately... But also old school rap music, world music, etc.
Still not much of a clue about electro but keen to learn more.

Favourite Movies:

The Big Lebowski, Harold& Maude, Woody Allen-movies (especially "Zelig" & "Deconstructing Harry"), Adam's Apples, Brothers Bloom, Trainspotting, Human Traffic, Happiness, Fight Club, Everybody's Fine, Django Unchained, Pappa ante portas, The Green Butchers ...

Favourite Series (decided to pick a few...):

Doctor Who, Shameless (US), Black Books, Miranda

Favourite Authors:

Paul Auster, Hermann Hesse, Haruki Murakami, Milan Kundera, Erich Fromm
