Hy there, I'm an activist and community facilitator by trade, but I also consider myself a traveler, musician and creative person. I studied philosophy and since then I've always trying to learn more and come to a deeper understanding of this world. When I'm not travelling, I'm open to hosting people in the community near Göttingen where I live.

My profile is quite old, some of it I have updated, some of it is still there from when I signed up almost ten years ago. One noteble change is, my name is Elvyn now and my pronouns in English are (They/Them), in German (Es/*) and in french (iel).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met so many beautiful people through couchsurfing. I had the most amazing insights and made real friends. I cant describe how happy I have been when I surfed a couch or hosted someone.

Interests

- I love to make Videos, design stuff and tell stories
- I love being outside, building things with my hands and geeking out about sustainable building
- I'm fascinated by philosophy and politics, I love to dive deep into things and if I come out with a strong believe by good reasons, I will defend it and hope to change the world in the process. I'm an activist and I commend civil disobedience and direct action for a good cause✌️
- I love cooking. Food is life, food is medicine. food is pleasure.
- I love making music. I play several instruments and sing. Music is a great way to connect.

CURRENT MISSION:
- Learn about community living and enjoy myself in the process

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a garden with a little house in Berlin and renovated it sustainably, hosting volunteers to build a home and a little community permaculture garden.

Made a documentary about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to inspire you and get inspired to live a better life every day.
Practical things I can teach are: Experience in Videomaking, health, vegan food, building stuff, sustainability, psychadelics, PHILSOPHY, you name it. I just want to help people out and serve you, to become the best version of yourself.
I also have made some amazing experiences with hitchhiking and traveling in general. Certainly a lot of stories and thoughts to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you like I'd love to cook for you, play music for you on my handpan and tell you amazing stories. But most importantly I just want to share some moments of true connection and share our worlds. I believe there is so much to learn from each other, that's why couchsurfing is just so amazing.
