Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was living in a flat in 2012 for 2 months which I found through couch surfing :) Really glad i found that place as I was moving to London from Switzerland. It gave me the opportunity to get to know the city and more about myself, after those 2 months I moved in with new friends, started working quick, found a new hobby which is photography, that became my job over the past 6 years that I am living here now :)

Interests

I love is to talk, to communicate, to learn, to help, to widen my horizon, to learn more about myself. Thats why I want to travel more :) I feel a bit stuck in London sometimes, only traveling back home from time to time. I do photography, which I started when I moved to London. It has been an interesting time with lots of learning, facing fears, doubts, overcoming doubts and so on :) :) Started working almost full time in photography around 2 years ago. Otherwise I love being creative, to be productive, to create things with other people, whether is exhibitions, laughter, learning, experiences, it's nice to share things. Otherwise I spend a lot of time editing photography, and doing stuff around it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite music to go out and dance to I feel most comfortable at electronic / techno music events, to relax I listen to piano and abstract music, all sorts :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't tell of myself that I have ever done something that amazing. I still have some years to change that :)
But I have much respect from a person I know, who works for the United Nations in different countries, like South Africa, where he was responsible of refugee camps or when he worked in Colombia and had to negotiate with Rebels who kidnapped tourists. I respect people who sacrifice their private life to help there, where it's really needed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could exchange my knowledge of the German language or share some of my photography experience :)

Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States
