About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finishing my diploma in fine arts woop woop
organizing a feminist space at fusion festival
climbing and bouldering pretty much every free minute I got

ABOUT ME

I like getting to know new things, learning new languages, meeting people, going out to see places. ---------------------------------------
Moving between studying, working as a teacher for german language and art, and project work in culture, youth work and politics.

PHILOSOPHY

For me, it works well to challenge myself. Don't get stuck in your routines. Think about your points of views and shift, if the old perspective doesn't get you anywhere.. and reward yourself with things that make you happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was couchsurfing during my exchange year in Finland and I hosted several people in Vienna over the time being. I like sharing my flat and hanging out with people who bring new perspectives to my usual surroundings. In return, I like to offer help and share some of the daily tasks when I am a guest at someone's home.

Interests

contemporary art, photography, performance and everything magical, political and/or playful
climbing (rock and indoors)
reading and talking about theory, especially feminism and queer theory

Music, Movies, and Books

I am fascinated with long entangled classic novels, literature from the turn of the 20th century, American writers, Russian literature. Started reading queer theory, literature and erotica a while ago.. and happy to exchange on that :)

I love horror movies, especially from the Eighties. the more colourful, the better. I don't ever stop watching them, even if it means I don't dare go to the toilet in the darkness after having watched a film.
In music I pretty much prefer electronic stuff and minimal, also on the techno side of things. And of course, 90s always works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to india.
Co-organizing a free class at the academy of fine arts in vienna and setting up an autonomous syllabus.
Living in Finland for a year, seeing very cold and quiet days and Northern lights. And a moose.

Teach, Learn, Share

Taking pictures of each other and going on photographic walks. Dumpster diving and cooking. DIY- lifehacks for those hedonists among us that don't have that much money. Drawing tricks and knotting knots is something I can also share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my (modest) cooking skills, my enormous experience as hobby cat psychologist, my camera and photographic knowledge, a network in art and culture and a passion for climbing- if there is an opportunity to climb in the vincinity, let's do this!

Countries I’ve Visited
