Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I enjoy getting a feeling of the specific regional culture that a hotel room just can't transmit (not talking of hostels though. I've seen some very cultural hostels.)

Interests

reading and writing, drawing and watching, riding my bike in the sunset, stopping and cursing and trying to figure out how to repair my bike using just my swiss knife and a small branch i found on the side of the road, collecting stuff I found and wondering what I could do with them, getting lost in the woods, starting projects I don't ever finish, finding new hobbies and abandonning old ones, walking through flea markets without ever buying anything, collecting instruments I mostly can't play, trying to built basically anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

That's difficult, because there are so many so different ones that I like equally. So I'll just give some examples:
Books: "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, "Hotel New Hampshire" byJohn Irving, "The Physician" by Noah Gordon
Movies: Pirates of the Carribean (1!), Keeping Mum, Men Who Stare At Goats
Music: Seeed, Iron Maiden, Käpt'n Peng

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've recently built my own electric guitar! Well, I actually just built the corpus and some of the the electrics. I also tried making the pickup myself, but it didn't work too well, so I finally bought one.
