About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning aerial acrobatics...

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Dresden waiting in lines for bananas. After school i started studying and traveling. I love learning how people in other countries live, which principles and interests they might have.
Juggling as my biggest interest is the compass in my life and that's what pointed me to Berlin in 2003.
Currently i'm busy working as a juggler and travelling a lot around Europe. Since 2015 I live with my partner in Birmingham, UK.

PHILOSOPHY

Think positive, so positive things will happen to you. Sounds cheesy but i think it works.
I also believe that possessing less things gives you more freedom and happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed two couches in south Italy. Both were amazing experiences. Some surfers stayed at our house in Berlin - all very nice people.

  • arts

  • sailing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music, movies, books which affect me emotionally and stay with me for a while. That happened for example with "Frida" and "Good bye, Lenin". I like cheesy italian music, theKnife, Radiohead, Laleh, Dido, Anna Ternheim, Ludovico Einaudi, Trevor Hall etc. Last book i really enjoyed was "Wild Swans".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up in a sailing boat at 4am because of a crazy thunderstorm just in front of Stromboli island. Trying to escape and get some distance between our boat and the cliffs of the island while the sky is illuminated from time to time by massive lightnings. And than with some distance we could see Stromboli who constantly spat burning stones covering his mouth with red dots. Incredibly amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, i can teach you juggling.. or show you how to make nice italian pasta. I also like sharing my love for nature, animals and plants and linguistics, structure of language.
