CURRENT MISSION

To make cool stuff with creative people, to have interesting conversations that help us imagine each other more complexly and to have lots of fun in the process.

ABOUT ME

I'm a small person with big dreams. I make life up as I go and hope it'll all work out in the end. I'm fascinated by life's funny, incredible and heartbreaking stories and I want to experience and collect as many of them as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, create, and only compromise in case of absolute emergency. ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I am unable to host at the moment. But if you need any traveling advice or someone to show you around Leipzig then shoot me a message.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm fairly new here, but the experience I had was great!

Interests

I obviously like travelling and getting to know locals.

I write songs, play the ukulele and am always up for a spontaneous jam session. I act in an improv troupe and love bizarre jokes and puns.

I make videos on YouTube:

When it's nice out, I hang out at the park and play frisbee. Biking is my favourite mode of transportation. Recetly, I've taken up skateboarding which made me resent the vast amount of cobblestone streets in Leipzig.

I'm always up for talking nerdy - news, novels, and music are my favourite topics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping outside in the Canadian wilderness - most stars I've ever seen in my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few chords on the ukulele, weird English vocabulary, improv techniques, video and photo (taking and editing), and some literary theory. I'm a broad reader, so I know a little bit about a lot of things.

I'm learning how to code websites right now, so if anyone wants to help me with that, that'd be great. Also, I would like to practice speaking Spanish and French.

If anyone wants to co-operate on a cool creative project, I'm also game!
