HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING As I am currently traveling, I would mostly like to surf couches in other cities - before I've rather hosted international travelers dropping by (= COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Found a language partner, had fun in different cities, showed around people in Heidelberg, slept in a crazy shared apartment before a job interview, hosted two Taiwanese studying abroad in Germany and one Hungarian girl attending a biotechnology conference. Have gone through the account/address/phone verification steps too many times to count... In Düsseldorf, I hosted several people, showing off my advanced local knowledge of the Rheinland area (... it does not exist. I guess I am the wrong person if you want to know specifics about this or that building in the city :P ) and hanging out with international visitors just passing by - all that besides my intensive work schedule and not too seldom weekend activities in other cities / countries.

Music: Elektro, French, Tech, Progressive, Vocal, Funky und Disco House, Ska, (Punk)Rock, Alternative, Drum & Bass, Clueso... Books: Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Thriller, Manga etc. Movies: The Place beyond the Pines, Seven Psychopaths, Silver Linings Playbook, Kick Ass, Avatar, Pulp Fiction, Bang Boom Bang, The Matrix, Boondock Saints, Juno, The Bank Job, Pan's Labyrinth, The Girl Next Door, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The Abyss, The Prestige, The Illusionist, Shoppen, Amelie, Ghost Town, V for Vendetta and a lot more - I always forget which ones I like though, so this list is never up to date ;)
