ABOUT ME

I am curious and I really like to talk to people. I guess, my choice to study Social Sciences corresponds to my interests in people, in politics, social aspects and structures of societies very well.
I read a lot, but nowadays I work too much, which makes me less open and to much focused in on e thing: politics. This is the reason why I like the idea of CS where you meet different persons and mindsets

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined the Couch surfing Community in 2009 when I moved to Kiev and I met really nice people till now, in Moldova, Ukraine, Malaysia, Norway.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

almost all positive, when I had an accident in Malaysia, Cameroon Highlands and couldn't move much, it was CS that really cheered me up

Interests

I read a lot and I love to read newspapers with a hot coffee in a nice coffeeshop. I collect herbs and know a little about their curativeness, I like theatre ballet and modern dance.

Music, Movies, and Books

my favourite bands are Beirut, Coco Rosie, Cat Power, love also Kino a Russian band,
I adore Virgina Woolf, in particular Mrs. Dalloway; and I like German lyrics by Mascha Kalecko. Since my time in Ukraine I love the local and Russian literature, they remain my favourites: Joseph Roth, Paul Celan, Gogol, Isaak Babel and not to be forgotten Bulgakov. There are so many others I could mention. Its hard to point one single book as a favourite. Books are my passion.
One of my favourite movie is "Der Himmel über Berlin" and "Waltz with Bashir". I am quite picky in regard of books, music and movies...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I lived in Finland I was amazed by nature. Once, I spent a night in a real igloo that we built on our own – it was my first own house, in fact. It was located on a frozen lake in central Finland. I’ve never been so cold in my life and I hope I will never be again, but the sounds of the moving ice shelves beneath our igloo were awesome and unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can cook and I am very well informed about politics. I know a bit about herbs and used to collect them for teas.
