CURRENT MISSION

Studying Directing documentary film in Ludwigsburg

ABOUT ME

Difficult to describe myself, but I give my best. I enjoy pretty well my life. After many stations I finally reached my dream studies: Documentary in Ludwigsburg.
I travelled to Cuba half a year and learned a lot about this amazing country as well as spanish and Salsa. Later to France to realize a photo-project about winemaking, then an other photo-project in Barcelona "La mirada del espejo" a serial of portraits. After studying psychology in Freiburg and struggeling long time about continuing and being rational or giving up to reach my dream, studying film I finally gave up psychology and worked one year in Berlin to applicate in Ludwigsburg for directing documentary movie. And there I´m now.
Besides my big passion cine I love sports and nature, like hiking in the mountains, climbing, runnig, swimming, cycling. I´m just not the best soccerplayer =D ... My third big passion is dancing, mostly Salsa, sometimes Bachata and Forró and now I would refresh my Tango skills because for me each dance is a comletly different world, where I like to escape in in different moods I have. And sure, live music as well is one one the greatest things in world :) and I love good café and sitting hours in a Café to write or read.

I really love to meet new people in every parts of the world. I experienced that it is kind of unimportant where you are, the most important is with whom you sty there and this makes a place beautiful!

My friends describe me sometimes as light-headed because I mostly trust in the good aim of people without considerig the risk. But, I would never change the way I go through the world, because with this curiosity I made the best experiences!

PHILOSOPHY

Go smiling through life and try to see the best in the things. Mostly you see things how you expect them, so try to be optimistic (=

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host people in the place where I live now! I could show you the filmakademie, which is a little universe itself. In Stuttgart is a really nice dancing scene of Salsa, Forro and Tango. And in my place are lots of people, crazy about filmmaking, animation, writing and photography...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couchsurfing in Paris where I met a super syphatic women! As well as in London which was a crazy experience to stay with a muscian, I had nice guests from China and US. in Freiburg and a Tango dancer from Argentina.
In Barcelona I couchsurfed as well where we had wonderful cooking-evenings and trips to the Montjuic watching Barcelona at night.
