Overview
About Me
easy going, friendly, adventurous, pragmatic, appreciative, brave, enthusiastic, independent, loyal.
I'm Swiss, but the birth default got corrected over time by intense internationalisation. Had my best times in the middle East, hope to leave Europe asap.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like the idea of connecting the world a little bit more through this platform. Further, providing a place to people with few money makes me happy, as well as being able to travel with few money because people offer me a place to sleep ahah
to clarify in advance for hosts:
-no, I really don't want a massage.
-no, I really prefer the couch, I don't want to share your bed, even casually.
-no, I really don't want to hear about your sexual adventures with other couchsurfers. It's not a damn dating platform and we really can cause an uncomfortable and unsafe environment if we approach surfers in this regard during a stay.
to clarify in advance for surfers:
-I am expecting you to be communicative. I understand, it is hard if you are an introvert. I myself wouldn't mind to not talk with anyone for a week but if you are doing couchsurfing and are at mine, be sociable. It gets really exhausting when I have to lead the whole conversation and there is not coming anything from your side. Then better stay at a hotel.
-you are here to explore and experience. it is absolutely ok if you need a day to relax at mine but it get's weird if you only stay home, especially cause my place is so small. It should really only serve as the place we sleep.

Music, Movies, and Books
music: all time favourit is the old german song 'Die Gedanken sind frei'
otherwise a mix of old gold like 'Patti Smith' or 'Tracy Chapman', of unconventional stuff like 'Tash Sultana' or 'Cigarettes after Sex' , of techno at the weekends, of dirty punk and honest folk. and of course all kinds of arabic music. from old style 'Fairouz' and 'Umm Kulthum' to new style 'Cairokee', 'Do'shouka/Luka' or 'Mashrou Leiyla'.
movies: generally I have a thing for french movies. the weirder the better. can't stand the 'romantic comedy' thing where you see 3 mins and you already know the end of the movie. Always in for the good old classics from the Godfather to Fightclub.
books: philosophy in general. poems. big fan of 'Göthes Faust' and Jean Paul Sartre. Currently reading Hannah Arendt's Elements and origins of totalitarianism
