ABOUT ME

Hi couchsurfers! I'm a young American artist currently living and working as a freelancer Germany. I am a native of Upstate New York and have been living in Germany for 3 years. My happy place is my metalsmith studio at my 300 year old farm house on the outskirts of Hamburg. When I am lucky I do art exhibitions and fairs internationally and get to combine my passion with my favorite hobby-Traveling! My work is often inspired by human behavior, psychology and the relationships we have with objects and the physical world around us. For this reason I especially enjoy meeting new people, and getting to know life in a different environment. Couchsurfers are always enriching my work! Besides that I am always eager to pick up new skills or hobbies, and I am interested in reclaiming my spanish! I also am a Vegetarian/Vegan and I love to cook and try any and all new foods, and local favorites that I can! I enjoy teaching my artistic or cooking skills with anyone who wants to share a meal or an idea with me! I also love to swim, bike, dive and go out dancing.

PHILOSOPHY

Experiences measure the quality and satisfaction of life, thus I must always be seeking something new to experience, and never experience anything less than- to its fullest! There is a valuable experience to be gained in every situation you are in, big or small, one must always be trying to see, and seize it! Who's with me?!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

currently I am not able to Host, I am only surfing, I soon hope to be able to host in my own home near Hamburg, Germany

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a handful of remarkable experiences through couchsurfing, including super generous hosts that have cooked me 3 course italian meals, woken up at 5 am to walk me to a bus stop, or ensured that even if we only 9 hours total in town- we would accomplish all the best absinthe varieties in town! I have gone to meet up groups and new years celebrations and have nothing but positive, exciting experiences to report. Lovely people that put a face and a personality to the globalization problems of today.

兴趣

I have hundreds more hobbies than I have time for and I am always looking to learn a new one. Show me what you got to teach!

If there is a tofu master cooker out there looking for an apprentice...just say the word...and I am there.
