About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Human sponge.

ABOUT ME

I like exploring, learning and contemplating. There's always new worlds to discover and room to deepen an understanding about any given subject. I can be a somewhat quiet person, but I love exchanging ideas and stories and I generally warm up quickly. I'm openminded and can get along with a wide range of people. I love art galleries, museums and discovering new secret places. I like libraries, used bookstores, making music, drawing, wandering and finding treasures. Especially little ones.

PHILOSOPHY

Live intuitively and listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great project and community.
I host and surf, when the stars align. My roommates and I host in Berlin when we can, it's quite a popular city :)

Interests

Contemporary art, drawing, video art, biology, coding, electronics, making music, cooking and reading.

Perceptual filters, architecture, coincidences and sound. I also like bicycling and exploring different urban / rural landscapes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bathed in Hot Springs Cove on the West Coast of Vancouver Island after "hitchhiking" there on a boat and walking through the rainforest. Beautiful natural hot springs with seven different rocky pools going from hot to cold, leading directly out to the ocean.

I am always up for sharing and learning.
