Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Good project to connect with people. When travelling I want to get to know locals, exchange ideas and learn about the culture and life in a country. Couchsurfing is a perfect way to do that. However I don't like it being profit oriented now.

I love children´s books and enjoy reading non fiction/semibiographical books.

I like movies by the directors thomas vinterberg, anders jensen, lars von trier, tim burton or wes anderson, but sometimes I also enjoy trashy splatter, dull action movies or good documentaries. as long as its not a romantic comedy (if you can show me a good one- go ahead) I´m pretty openminded.

i recently started watching anime series-if you know any cool ones, let me know!

also: buster keaton! <3
