About Me

I'm an american who has grown up around Europe, born in Austria, lived in Belgium, the Netherlands and London as well as a year or two back in the states.
I make games and experiences, and also love organising events. I've been involved in climate and broader activism in the past few years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently I'm traveling through Italy, France and Spain along the Mediterranean and would like to meet people in the areas I pass through!

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you want to know how to juggle, use consent-based practices in group settings or need tips on game design?

I'm also available for visiting comic shops, going to a political demo and getting naked in nature.

You need something organised, a movie recommendation or a secondhand store companion? That's me too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some meals, bake some cakes or ohelp you sort and reorganise a space if you're not happy with it.

Also if you'd like a 360 photo/video, I have a fun camera with me!
