About Me

Hey
Im an openminded musician, love traveling and meeting new people, as well as seeing new places and live life.
At the moment, Im preparing material for my YT Channel and work on my music.
Im very empathic and freespirited / outgoing with like-minded people, though I can accommodate pretty well as well, since, if I join an environment as a guest, I dont make the rules.
I switch between being an introvert and an extrovert, depending on my mood and my environment, the same as I have lazy days and crazy days :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and head into the unknown. Couchsurfing usually consists of two openminded people, since one has the courage to enter a strangers appartment, and the other has to show the courage of hosting a stranger in his / her appartment.. both coming with certain risks, excitements, feelings of uncertainty, but still, if two open minds with good intentions come together, a good experience is usually the outcome :)
Plus I love the thought of doing things that strive from out "usual social mindset". How many times do you speak to a stranger? How many times do you share something with someone who didn't give you a reason to in the first place? How many times do you let a stranger get to know you without a reason? Couchsurfing combines so many of those things, and enhances trust, generosity and 'going with the flow' if its done right!
I get included into the environment over there right from the start (unlike in a hotel, where the community is more a service than human contact).

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh Im open to any kind of music as long as the lyrics are good and the vibes inspiring. I usually dislike the modern party music.
The books I read are often found in the fantasy genre, and since I rarely get the chance to read english books, I read a lot of books from german authors. Of course, big stuff like "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings" can be found on my shelf as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exchangeyear in Japan and creating a band

Teach, Learn, Share

I might be able to teach those who are willing to learn, but since I dont claim that my "teachings" are the "truth", I rather just share my views on the world :)
I can show you the life of a philosophic musician

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share an open mind and an alternative way of thinking. Therefore, I include myself in all kinds of conversations or opportunities to try out things, unless they go against my very "creed", in that case I'll politely decline (Though that shouldnt happen since some exchange usually takes place before I crash someones couch).
