CURRENT MISSION

See the world, it will make you better.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Germany, went to art school in Boston and now live and work in Portland, Oregon as upholsterer and furniture restorer.

I like art that lets you pause and rejoice in being in the world... it doesn't have to be more complicated than that. Compassion, humility and lightheartedness are really important to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling is a huge priority for me and I have learned so much. I want to be part of encouraging others, and share experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have encountered so many wonderful couchsurfers - i've not yet had the opportunity to share my own couch. When I have one I will.

Interests

I'm interested in collaboration and the ways in which people live, experience life, and work together. I am interested in art that reaches the everyday, and how spaces and the things in/around it affect you.
