Why I'm on Couchsurfing
after hearing about my roommates excellent time couchsurfing in the US I decided to give it a shot! I am interested in meeting new people and finding places I may not have otherwise seen!
Music, Movies, and Books
My taste in music is eclectic but includes lots of indie rock, dad music, folk singers, musicals. I love Neil Gaiman, Tolkien, books that give me melancholy.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I'm not sure if this is amazing, but I managed to lock myself out of an apartment in a small town and had to walk three blocks in my pyjamas to get it sorted out...
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to share all kinds of information I've picked up over the years - be it about languages, the holocaust, beer, wine, culture, anything! My expertise is in German stuff since that is what I studied but I enjoy learning almost anything so I have some weird knowledge!
What I Can Share With Hosts
A good sense of humour, a friendly open disposition, a fairly good knowledge of beer, and depressing history facts (particularly about the second world war).
