About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Right now I am trying to find the right work/life-balance, which mainly means work/travel-balance ;-)

ABOUT ME

I am open minded, communicative and uncomplicated. I like travelling mainly for two reasons: Taking photographs and meeting interesting people. I like talking to people, laughing with them, hearing interesting stories, cooking for people, drinking a glass of wine with them... In addition, as a professional photographer I have a special interest in talking to people - as their points of view and perspectives give me the chance to see the world through different eyes and improve my work, my pictures and sometimes even my personality.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately I´ve not yet been able to surf or host. As I am a freelancing photographer, I´m in the phase of working very much right now, for beeing able to make a living out of it. Which is not an easy task, but doing what you love is absolutely worth it!

Interests

photography, travelling, cooking and eating, meeting new people, bowshooting and more...
I`m also interested in protecting our environment. I´m especially fascinated by clever ideas to generate electricity, like e.g. the rawlemon-project.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve once been singing in an a-cappella- band with friends and we managed to get a gig as a support act of a well known german band. So we were able to performe in Koblenz on a huge stage right on the german corner (Dt. Eck) in front of 5000 people. I was so excited and nervous, that I had real trouble to sing even a single tone... ;-)
But after a while it worked and people went crazy and even asked for a bonus-song.
Unforgettable moment...

I am always glad to share. As my profession is photography, I like to share what I know and what I´ve experienced yet.
