About Me

CURRENT MISSION

plant flowers into my bicycle basket, and spell the world bicycle without checking leo everytime again

ABOUT ME

i like storms and waves and salt in my face and my flatmates soups on cold winterdays and I like to get lost and find something again preferably myself but also hidden things such as corners ans stories lingering around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much jet, but so far great. And somehow I feel that it will increase:-)

Interests

i like the stories people tell me, about their lifes, their struggles and failures. i would like to understand better how this world that makes me both wonder and sad, with places amazing and places terrifying, with ideas inspiring and ideas frightening happens to be the very same world...
i think a lot about the society i live in, my position in, and the glasses that i take on and that tell me different thinsgs about what im seeing and that make me see some thinsg and that blind me to see others..
and im alwas looking for spaces in which somthing can grow that is not simply the opposite, or not simply a nostalgic idea of how it all once was, but something that can raise out of the condition thet i am in right now, and that is radically different from the kind of imaginations we are tought to believe in...
