About Me

I am currently traveling in Japan and Europe, and can’t meet or host in Malmö, sorry!

Your standard designer-hipster-human I assume. I am a vegan and like chai latte, I think travelling is awesome and more hugs would make the world a better place. I enjoy quirky, weird and inappropriate conversations, and enjoy being around people who are human, most of all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed and hosted a lot during my university days (quite some) few years ago and it allowed me to discover places and connect with people I wouldn't otherwise have met and seen.

Interests

Aside from the standards of travelling, reading, movies etc, I like to spend my time on all things cultural, such as theater, galleries, museums, festivals. I like to learn, so I study and read on the side about philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and other random things, and I enjoy to create stuff, all kind of things really (I take somewhat good photos, I sometimes sew, paint, sketch...).

Music, Movies, and Books

Whatever resonates. Things I listened to in the last week: Die Ärzte (german punk band), Joni Mitchel, Marilyn Manson, "Rock Anthems of the 90". Oops.
I like reading science fiction, fantasy, any good novel and some nice autobiographical stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Narrowing it down to one thing is hard. Most recently, I would say I co-founded a design studio, that is successful enough to employ people. That still amazes me.
But there are quite a few travel experiences I really don't want to miss.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about nearly everything - just talk, I will listen! I myself love what I work with, so I like talking about tech & humans, and how to design things in between.
