ATTENTION: NOT IN BERLIN UNTIL 2019!

I am an open and passionate person, eager to learn about languages, cuisine, culture, architecture... . Years ago I especially fell in love with Spain and I still love its pecularities, its food, its charming climate, its beautiful and lonely desert-like plains and sierras, cities and pueblos..

I live in Berlin since I started my BA at the university and love this place.
I like exploring the city by bike, from the massive post soviet avenues to the furthest spots beyond the last street lights.

Though I really enjoy political debates these issues aren't an obligatory topic. ;) And still I like people who are willing to think out of the box, to actually critize stuff and to spot the causes of problems...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here on CS because to me it's a huge opportunity made possible by one of humanities most beautiful inventions, the internet, to get to now new places and people we simply wouldn't otherwise.
Oh and of course cheap travelling is an huge advantage of CS.

Interests

On quite an unprofessional level (no money for equipment..), I'd say, I do enjoy photography, especially in the urban environment. Maybe we could share some of the perspectives we captured so far..
I especially like stormy landscapes and skies.

Oh and just love maps, especially when I'm caught in their middle, but also for art and just getting lost on them.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
I play alto-saxophone and listen to very different kinds of music (from instrumental/classic to pop/indi-rock...).

Some interpets I personally enjoy: London Grammar, Green Day (American Idiot - era), The Cat Republic, Honda Vaga, Florence & The Machine, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, The XX, Cigarettes After Sex, Weezer, Moderat, Vetusta Morla, The Smiths/Morrissey, Stromae, Queen...

Yes, I confess, my spotify playlists do include pop music. Sometimes I just like it the explicit way ;)

MOVIES
i. a.: I Killed my Mother, Brooklyn Bizarre, Volver, Todo Sobre mi Madre, The Lord of the Rings,
unfortunately NOT The Hobbit,
Tacones Lejanos, Cloud Atlas, Rocky Horror Picture Show...

BOOKS
I enjoy reading books that have something to say. Sadly, lately this and other standards of mine have lead me to not finish readings. Maybe you can help me out of this frustration?

Some I've enjoyed: The Lord of the Rings, Ensayo sobre la Ceguera (Saramago), Siddartha (Hessse), Steppenwolf (Hesse), Kleiner Mann - was nun?, The Catcher in the Rye, The Astronauts (Lem), The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (Kundera)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Uhm..
Language skills, passion for the beauties of life, political knowledge, my wonderful flat in Berlin, over all, I guess.

And I'd love to get to know your city from your own perspective. Show me where you like to be. :)
