Overview
About Me
I'm a freelance videoproducer. I like arts and design and obscure things. Or popular things like Calvin & Hobbes and Food. I really love travelling and the couchsurfer-lifestyle. As a couchsurfer, I hosted around 150 people in my home. As a traveller - I really loved taking our old policevan to far away places like turkey or the exotic united kingdoms - and all the places in between. Roadtrips are my favourite, so i did a few more, like travelling around the Balkans, to Norway, to Spain. My favourite though was cycling through Iceland. I liked it so much, i did it twice.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
to make friends with people from all over the world.
Actually, I have a bit more experience than it seems on this profile. I had a joined profile with my ex-girlfriend which you can see here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/1547239/profile
Together, we hosted about 150 people at our place and surfed about 40 times in different countries that were reachable via ground travel :)

Music, Movies, and Books
To give you a general idea of the cultural things I like, and that we could probably talk about:
• Books
Almost anything by Paul Auster, Selim Özdogan, Iain M. Banks, Kafka, Murakami, Douglas Adams... I like a lot more than I can think of at the moment. I really need to get back into a habit of reading, but studying literature really got me out of that :)
• Movies
Anything by Richard Linklater, Coen Brothers, Tarantino, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Jarmusch, David Lynch...
Gravity, Pixar Movies, Back to the Future, Moonrise Kingdom, Submarine, Whale Rider, The Man from Earth, 127 Hours, Grosse Pointe Blank, Big Fish (somehow I always remember Johnny Depp in the lead), Me and You and Everyone We Know, Into the Wild, Amelie, Garden State, The Million Dollar Hotel, Cold Fever, Indy Jones (1 & 3), Metropolis,
Trash Movies, B-Movies, Weird Stuff, Old Movies, Scandinavian Movies, Artsy Movies, Experimental Movies, Documentaries, Short Movies, ... I just like Movies! :)
• Shows
So many... Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Parks and Recreation, Fargo, True Detective, Girls, Mad Men, How I met your mother, Lilyhammer, It's always Sunny in Philadelphia, Flight of the Conchords, Six Feet Under, The IT Crowd, Top of the Lake, Sherlock, Modern Family, Freaks and Geeks, and of course Cartoon Network Stuff like Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball, Clarence... I guess that should give you a general Idea :)
• Music
So much!
I mostly like handmade, guitary music (rock, metal, folk, acoustic, singer/songwriter) or complicated electronic music. I like Jazz and old Music, but I really need to learn more about those to pick my favourites.
Bands/Artists that come to mind first are: Mr. Bungle, Mumford & Sons, Four Tet, Bonobo, 65daysofstatic, Kyuss, John Frusciante, The God Machine, Tool, Madrugada, Mogwai, alt-J, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Type O Negative, A Silver Mt. Zion, Godspeed you black Emperor, Antony & The Johnsons, Patto, Sophia, The Doors, Mike Patton, Console, Jose Gonzales, Depeche Mode, Explosions in the Sky, John Zorn, Sigur Ros, Björk, Johnny Cash, Gry... the List goes on and on and grows bigger all the time.
