Okay now, I'm a nice 27yr old from germany. At the moment I am planning to move to england, because it annoys me that I never spent a semester in another country during my time at the university... I have been moving around germany a lot and been visiting other countries, but never lived anywhere longer than a month.

I studied 'digital animation', so why not go to some other country and just work there as a translator (perfect german!) or a graphic designer?

So, that's the plan! And I planned to check out okcupid to see if I could find people already living there.

Hobbies? Oh yes:
I enjoy cinema, bars&clubs, books, hiking, swimming, video editing & playing/making videogames, running, going to concerts, discussing world politics, music (I play keyboard)...

I just spent a ridicilous amount of money on the "FantasyFilmFest" Movie Festival in Hamburg, now I can live without cinema for several months... why not go to a bar with a live band instead? :)

good question. Travel & work in different countries, meet many interesting people, then settle down in the best land I have found? Oh, and learn to play saxophone.

I have just completed my degree, ask me again in a year!

Air Hockey. Don't mess with me, unless you made me drunk first. ;)

People say I cook really well. I enjoy cooking, so I hope they are right!

I am rather tall and lean, and I like to climb on things.

I have a lot of books, I have even started to store them in boxes in my cellar... I need to let go, especially some of my Fantasy/Science Fiction books from teenage-years.

I don't have particular books I'd call my favorite, I read a lot from all genres. Terry Pratchetts discworld, science books on gender mainstreaming, art books about computer graphics... I've even read Brigdet Jone's Diary. :) But I have a special interest: I enjoy reading old Science Fiction from the 60s (my father had many of these). I just love the contrast between seemingly advanced space technology, but computers that need to be fed with cardboard punchcards and give out information on printers only. A world with huge spaceships, but without cell phones. Laserguns, but no internet. Highly advanced airtube-systems to shoot paper messages from one point to another, but no emails. See what I mean? It gets me smiling all the time.

I'll write about movies some other time, I go to cinema a lot. But even there you'll find my interest in old scifi-stuff (you know 'forbidden planet'? So good!!).

I often think about how to use any of my hobbies to improve the world in any way, but until now I haven't had a good idea (or the energy to pursue it).

start a band and sing for world peace?
design a videogame about the war in chechenia?
travel to burma and beat up some soldiers? (probably not)

give me time, I'll think of something!

probably out in the city...

or keeping my neighbours awake by playing noisy videogames with a bunch of friends.

I get drunk very fast, to the amusement of the people I'm out with. I don't drink that often, maybe that's the reason!

...you are living in & around the area of Portsmouth and enjoy the same things as I do. I will most likely move to that city in the end of this year, and I am looking for some nice people to explore it with.
