Overview
About Me
PHILOSOPHY
"The present is the only time that belongs in truth to us." (Blaise Pascal)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Although I live and work in Cologne, there are some places in Germany I have to visit sometimes because next to my work I study in a distance learning program (B. Sc. Psychology in Göttingen), make an additional training program as a storyteller and I`m politically involved in different fields. Therefore I have to find accomodations e.g. in Göttingen, Münster, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and some other places from time to time. So I would be very glad to find open-minded and friendly hosts whenever it`s necessary for me to stay in another city over night.
At the same time I'm in principle open to friendly and interesting people who are looking for an accomodation in Cologne for a couple of days.
I can offer you a couch in a separate living room/reading room, so nobody would disturb you while sleeping. Alternatively/additionally you can use one of the sleeping bags and air mattrasses which I have in stock for guests.
Just contact me if you are searching for an place to stay over night.
Interests
In my leisure time I prefer common activities, otherwise I love reading (novels, Philosophy, psychology, history), I listen to music (classical music, jazz, electro, sometimes rock and especially reggae), like cooking and trying new recipes, moreover I am politically and socially involved. Of course I love discussing about books, philosophical thoughts and life experiences and enjoy long summer nights and dark winter evenings.
