About Me

An easy going, practical, well informed and versatile traveller (these days rather: student) who loves to dive into all kinds of deep conversations and adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My way of exploring cities in particular is by walking around and trying to catch the local athmospere and understand what drives life. This is twice as enjoyable if you know locals, either just to give you all the best niche cafes, bars where you dont expect them, and cool cozy shops or to show you around and have a good drink in the evening.

Interests

I like to explore the world, my personal favourite way being by thought. But as the latter is thoroughly connected to acting and connecting yourself to reality (have you ever seen a mathematician thinking?), I'm all over the place as long as I'm not studying.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Dos Passos and other classic authors, right now I'm reading Hölderlin and Hegel.
Movies: currently watched Drive My Car, awesome stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping in the biggest sand desert of the world, the Empty Quarter, under the night sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy talking about philosophy, literature and maths, especially because I believe that these areas are connected in a very deep sense. But although this is what I might know the most of, things that change perception of the world around us linger everywhere, and these I truely love to explore.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversations and a good friend!
