About Me

I am definitely a laid back guy who dares to talk but prefers to listen to others.....as long as it is interesting or funny or both or something else.
I consider myself as patient, simple, not that serious and as a careful listener. People keep saying to me that I appear very introvert at times. Although there is some truth to it I'd rather say that I just have a different approach to people.

Moreover I love long lasting evenings with wine, good movies, refreshing talks as well as long unstressed breakfasts lasting till afternoon.

...Or just ask me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of being guided by locals you barely know but still trust somehow.

Interests

I'm a Basketball player who is rahter passionate than talented. I participated in a theatre project and would love to keep up the spririt somehow somewhere even though I am not that experienced.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
There are too many movies I like or I have to watch. But there is one I often watch with friends as it has become kinda social ritual which is: Disney's Robin Hood. It has to be in German because of the hilarious dubbing voices' accentuation.
Let me give you some other examples that come to my mind randomly:
- Mary and Max (2009, Adam Elliot)
- Dancer in the Dark (2000, Lars von Trier)
- Samson and Delilah (2009, Warwick Thornton)
- Gegen die Wand (2004, Fatih Akin)
- Before Sunrise (1995, Richard Linklater)
...

Books:
Just started to read "Momo und die grauen Herren" by Michael Ende
Just bought "Las venas abiertas de América Latina" by Eduardo Galeano
...

Music:
When I go out I prefer music like Soul of 50's/60's,R&B,Hip-Hop,Dance Hall or African music.
But when it comes to music in general I am always open to different genres since it sweetens my everyday life. So, if there is somebody who might broaden my musical horizon, here I am.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to eat and talk but I do not think that I'm good at cooking. It would be a win-win situation if you taught me how to cook because at the end I would willingly do the dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time. Sounds simple (and kind of corny) but to me it is utterly valuable and more than worth to share.
And I'm always ready to give a hand.
