Hey folks! I consider myself a calm and comunicative person, with lots of interests and hobbies. A little bit of all. I'm open minded and I like getting to know new people and their stories. Doesn't matter where you come from, which colour is your skin or whatever..
I grew up in a village near Berlin. Then the city got me and I moved from district to district in various living constellations. I have two little children who are living part time at my place.
My favourite art is music. I like to listen and to practice it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I don´t want to see just sights and places. It´s more about knowing local people and their stories.

At this moment it´s difficult for me to travel (work, kids,...). So, if I can´t go see the world - the world can come to my place :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: nearly every kind of (if it´s played or produced good) more handmade stuff but also electronics (for dancing I prefer Drum&Bass to Techno, Reggae and Ska to Rock ´n Roll (but depends on my mood)

Films: The Big Lebowski and others from the Coen Brothers, Almodovar, Woody Allen... best genre: thriller, mindf***ing films, I do not like science fiction so much and american comedy bores me

Books: novels from T.C. Boyle, John Irving, Paul Auster and many more; novels with historic background (20th century) for example Stephen Fry "Making history" (oh, it´s lots of of fiction!!) I am also fascinated by Berlin history around the 80th and stories of this time

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2006 I lived 9 month in Valencia (Spain) for a volounteer service. Living together with 6 other volounteers from all over Europe was a great experience and a big fun. I fell in love with the country and the years after I returned several times to participate in workcamps in different parts of spain. In each project I met a lot of very nice people - and it´s weird, to some of them I feel fraternity as if they´d be my homies from Berlin. It has become a must to meet here or there sometimes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I´m not to busy I´d love to guide you to some places of my city - but for the big sightseeing tour I´ll recomend the bus :)
