About Me

I’m an illustrator working from where ever I feel like cause I don’t like it to be “stuck in one place”. I have an appartement in Rotterdam with my fiancé and 2 cats (Tofu and Pepper) in the cozy Katendrecht.

From 2018/2021 I lived and worked in Berlin to focus on my creativity. The works I make are mainly about life, human interaction and the society we live in. With my works and projects I try to make the world a little bit brighter to hopefully create more openness about certain subjects.

Im combining Rotterdam and Berlin as much as I can so since my partner is not in couchsurfing, we are only able to host/hang with you when I’m around :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I read some article about CS when I was at the hairdresser

Interests

Life, politics, music, friends/people, surfing (still learning tho), long/skateboarding, yoga/pilates, swimming, play on my guitar, travel, dancing, social projects, illustrate and making art. Tiffany Haddish is my soulmate even she does not know it yet...

I am against, racism, war and violation of human rights (like duuh). Capitalism, global warming, animal cruelty and Donald Trump I also dislike.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: If it sounds good I like it, to many to write down!

Movies: American Beauty, Elizabethtown, Amelie, The Beach, Fightclub, Romeo and Julia (1996), 127 hours, Into the wild, The wolf of Wallstreet, Catch me if you can, The great Gatsby, Enjoy your poverty (a really great and undervalued documentary, so sad cause I really think it's one of the best docu's ever made!), Encounters at the and of the World, The Solitude of Prime Numbers, Man on Wire, Le Grand Bleu, Captain fantastic.

Books: The last black unicorn (Tiffany Haddish), Show your work (Austin Kleon), Papillon and Banco (by Henri Charrière), Desert flower (by Warris Dirie). Er ist wieder da (by Timur Vermes). And I like to read books about politics and history from around the world.
