I like stories, and traveling is one of the best ways to find them.

I'm creative, friendly, and restless. I like biking, parks, art, talking to strangers, reading, writing stories.

One of my hobbies is sneaking into fancy parties, music festivals, and concerts. But mostly, I enjoy talking to people in small, quiet settings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometimes you don't want to party all night with 18-year-olds in a hostel, but getting an Airbnb all alone is so.... lonely

Plus, local recommendations are usually better. And so are their stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I designed a complete set of artist VIP passes for Lollapalooza music fest in Berlin (I'm a graphic designer after all). I was able to sneak in with two friends. We enjoyed backstage privileges and VIP champagne.

One time I drove an old Dutch river boat all the way from Paris to Auxerre. It was great, but being out in the country on a tiny boat drove me crazy pretty quickly. Now I know that lifestyle isn't for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like making and watching movies, so maybe you can share your favorite ones?

I love interactive art projects and social projects.

I also love learning about city planning and am always reading or watching videos about it.

Of course, we can trade cheap travel tricks too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let's share beer or a bike ride! Want to do some yoga poses? Stretching is great, too.

I also cut hair. Need a trim?
