我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Probably because I deeply hate those little buses that drive you through all the places that (according to the standards of one disembodied tourism agency) you are supposed to visit when you go to somewhere new. But I have to admit I once decided to tail one of these buses (ruminations on the concept of "free ride") while I was driving a rental car in a town I didn't know. Then the driver spotted me and we engaged in a mock pursuit, including a path through a parking lot and some shenanigans at a roundabout. Weird stuff, guys.

兴趣

Trees and teeth and buildings (which is another way to say "beauty and complexity")

• architecture
• traveling
• music

音乐、电影和书籍

Ooouh, I've always hated this question. But I see the point of asking it in a profile. So, yep, I love anything with classy drums (something from The Cinematic Orchestra really fits the description), I prefer to watch non movie-span shows (you know, series are both shorter and longer), and I read less and less for pure pleasure (but I do have all of Borges next to my couch).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Seamlessly integrating another person's point of view (while walking through a construction site at the break of dawn).

教，学，和分享

I've been in Cologne for quite a while now, but i like spending time at home when i can, so I don't necessarily know all the best places in town. But at least I have (what remains of) a stock of 60kg of pasta, which I'll be happy to share with you (in the hundreds of variants I know, from pumpkin to squid). Other than that, I'm quite the curious person. If you are an expert in architecture or music be careful - I might be asking you a TON of questions. It would also be nice to know if you have a way to rotate these fr****n' profile pictures from within the CS interface.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love to provide logistic support (it might sound cold, but it *is* a form of love), my flat is decent, and I myself am decent too, apparently - well, if you give me the time to properly wake up / have breakfast / shower. If you challenge me before that, I might have a tendency to be a slightly less forgiving person (detractors would say that by "challenge" I just mean "talk to").
