ABOUT ME

Okay... I am 28 years old, a student of history and english at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
I used to work as a nurse, but quit a while ago since I did no longer want to work for wages that low.

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned."

- Douglas Adams as quoted by Richard Dawkins

what more could I say?

Ah yes, if there is no good music, I don't call it much of a life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have only hosted people and not made use of other people's couches, but at some point I will...

So far I only had positive experiences with some really cool people from pretty much all over the world...

兴趣

音乐、电影和书籍

Music? A lot. Bach, Händel, Schubert, Schönberg, Pärt, Tchaikowsky, Sibelius, Purcell, Schütz... this list is near endless...

on a more popular note: Deine Lakaien, Bauhaus, the Organ, Sisters of Mercy, Die Krupps...

Books... well, there is always Pratchett... and Kästner, Heine, Feuchtwanger, Thompson, Adams, Regener etc. pp.

Movies? Nothing beats "der Himmel über Berlin" ("Wings of Desire" in english)... ah well, my taste in films is so very varied. Serenity; Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels; Adam's apples; Secretary; Star Wars (the original trilogy, not the new bs)... this list would go on for way too long, too...
