About Me

Grown up as a big family child with 5 brothers, Papa comes from Melbourne & having spent quite some time with relatives in Australia and New Zealand - Around this side of the world I like the Balkans and windy skandinavian countries a lot. In my artistic work I build sometimes more or less nonsense kinetic objects, perform focusing on society's drawbacks.
The Stones do sing 'let's do some living' - right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

taking a backpack full of favourite things and getting to know new places, other habits, new mimics &gestures, foreign people, different coffee, attitudes, political approaches, ...
Couchsurfing is a great thing next to capitalistic way of sharing one's living space on Airbnb. Have had very welcoming, interesting and generous experiences while couchsurfing in europe.

Interests

wooden objects, silly&nervous machines, art, dancing, humanity, travelling, reading, watching movies at best in small picture theatres, having a swim in the lake, brothers, bike riding, backpacking, long just as short but evocative conversations, ice cream, open air

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're about to renovating or building something out of wood I'd be happy to help during a visit. Sharing talks about fine arts, movies & literature while having drinks or coffee could go for long.
