Hey, I’m Christian!

Vegan · Germany · Joined in November 2017

I used to use Couchsurfing, for more than a decade, but when they did the "pay money or we will delete your account forever" thing, that was a bit much. But it had already deteriorated drastically before that. It used to be a place of alternative types willing to freely share without asking anything in return. Then it was overrun (what CS considered being a successful company) by, well, I don't want to say banker types because that wouldn't be thoughtful (and I've met at least two pretty nice bankers, vegan bankers at that), but people who were looking for kicks, hook-ups, people who had never thought of the word solidarity, never heard the name Kropotkin, and couldn't tell the difference between ethic and ethnic.

Fun Facts About Me

This reminds me of when a neighbour who had just moved into the building knocked on my door asking if I had some salt. Well, I was probably the only person in the entire city who did NOT have salt. Her face filled with a kind of mild version of horror.

coarse English, odd German, bad Spanish, and several other attempts at speaking

This reminds me of a Joe Lally quote.

Favorite Quote

The one with "goobledigook" by Donald Watson maybe; and maybe "Is there really such a thing as a waste of time?"; and "Here comes the judge"; and "The passing night sky fills with people I know"; and "The bourgeoisie better watch out for me"; and many more :D
