About Me

MY FIRST SOLO BACKPACK TRIP:

My brother organised a surprise 2 week trip for me, BUT he didn't tell me where. All I know is:

1) I need to go to the airport on the 2nd of September.
2) The first destination is Berlin
3) The next destinations I will find out on the day of the flight :D

I'm using CS for the first time for this trip, so I hope to meet amazing people along the way.

About me:

I create magic tricks for a living for other magicians, which is a fun job, but lately longing for something new. So currently working on my first show to combine my magic, poetry, music and storytelling all into one show. That's super exciting, but doing this and trying something new has made me face some of my fears and doubts that have popped out. But I like to work on my shit and find ways to improve.

I get along with people easily, I love to connect with other people... and should do it more often. I'm mostly cheerful (if I'm not overthinking). I enjoy being alone as much as being with friends. LOVE to talk and discuss life :)

My philosophy is - life is a game. Trying to become a better player every day.

But in general still figuring myself out...

NB! Meeting someone who is into storytelling or just can help me figure out the core story for my show would be a HUGE blessing! ✨ 🙏

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One couple approached me to ask me if I would be the person who would carry out their wedding ceremony. So even though I'm not officially qualified I have had a role of a priest in a wedding giving a blessing to lovers. Not something I was expecting to experience during my life time :) I've had 5 couples now.
