About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living another dream of mine in London

ABOUT ME

I´m an artist and a traveller through life and space, reflecting my discoveries in press as a journalist, geting inspiration for further design projects as an accessories designer. I´d like to explore and feel at home even in the far away corners of my home planet.

PHILOSOPHY

I had assumed that travelling was the crap bit you had to tolerate in order to get to the places you wanted to see, but it occured to me that maybe the places were the shit bits that you had to tolerate in order to do the travelling. (William Sutcliffe "Are You Experienced")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
