About Me

Software developer and future mars colonist. (Well, a boy can dream...)
Political activist, gamer, plant based.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing. What seemed appealing about it was the sense of uncertainty: Staying with a stranger in an unknown city or even country? Just the kind of adventure I'm looking for. I'm hoping to host travellers in the future as well, since my girlfriend and I both like hosting nice people in general and believe that hospitality is important.

Interests

Literature, video and board games, music, philosophy, LARP (Live Action Role Play), anything in nature (hiking or camping), IT.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Metal, medieval folk, hiphop, harsh electro.
Books: Fantasy (high, low and urban) and scifi, occasionally thrillers, and whatever genre Murakami writes.
Movies: I'm no cinephile, I'll watch anything if it isn't modern Hollywood action trash. I'd rather sew a woolen tunic or play a good game though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen a Japanese girl with a stupid German tattoo ("RAusch NÖtig SÜß KEtten", sic!). I thought this only happened the other way round, with westerners getting tattoos of asian symbols that actually mean "automatic door", but apparently it's a two-way road.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you more puns than you will probably ever have to know, and I can also tell you about the peculiarities of Bavaria. (Hooray for useless knowledge!)
If you're knowledgeable about medieval clothing of your culture, I'd be happy to learn about that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Uh... My eternal gratitude. And conversations about life, the universe and everything.
