PHILOSOPHY Live and let live, especially when it comes to religious and moral views. I´m gay and I really have a problem with people, who want to tell me or others how to live. Scheiß da nix, dann faillt da nix! Current plans: 3 weeks Japan in Juli/August. Yay Kawaii!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My flatmate in Stralsund had a huge couch so we had groups of up to three people coming to our place and I absolutely loved it. It was always so much fun to give them a tour of the city or cook together etc.etc. After Stralsund, I studied in Dublin, Ireland, where I had an appartment with a big couch, so I started hosting myself.
Music, Movies, and Books
All time favourite authors: hemingway, john irving, oscar wilde, fitzgerald, moers, garcia marquez. I´d love to read more from Spanish authors, so if you can recommend something... I always postpone my attempt to read Russian authors because they tend to write novels with thousands of pages. Last but not least: music. Highly depends on the mood I´m in and the occassion. With decreasing popularity I´d say heavy, loud and brutal stuff, electronic, some pop music and RnB.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I visited an exhibition about 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland in Belfast and I remember a boy who stood in front of a screen and watched the masked faces of paramilitary forces. He turned to his mom and asked her if these guys were Taliban. At that moment I was grateful to live in a time and place where children only know war through screens. We should expand that.
Teach, Learn, Share
Reflect. There are always two sides to a story. Force youself to be humble and think carefully before acting. And very important: Less talk, more action. A lot of peolpe waste their lives away with making plans instead of living them.
My Interests
I studied Tourism Management, so Im interested in everything that has to do with traveling, the good and the bad side effects of it. I´m really into art and love to go to galleries. I´m fascinated with the Internet and the possibilities it gives us. When I´m on the road I try to get to know the local cuisine. I have a kind of love/hate relationship with any means of transportation: they are necessary to go from A to B but I hate to waste time sitting in a car/train/plane. I would love to walk everywhere... I'm into sports. Mostly kettlebell training, yoga and running.
