Hello there :)

WOW it has been ages since I have been here!!! How much the world and Couchsurfing has changed.

I have an internship and dance performance in Italy this summer and will connect it a bit with traveling around Bella Italia, so I am actively looking for people who can host me :)

I am a contemporary dance artist living between Vienna and Köln. This is some of the stuff I do:

Also, I founded Tailoring Togo, an NGO based in Austria who is cooperating with a social business in West Africa called Aklala Batik. This is what we do: www.facebook.com/tailoringtogo

Looking forward to meeting you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used this platform on and off throughout the last 10 years. I have had many many encounters - some weird & awkward and others just completely heart warming. It is challenging me to get out of my bubble and have a dynamic relationship with my very own openness, that gets more narrow and closed the older I get.
