I am a 26-year-old interdisciplinary artist. I studied in Maastricht the last 3 years and I have a little black dog. Now I live in Münster on a farm with friends and I am looking for projects all over Europe.
Before I decided for the arts I became a paramedic, started and stopped a physiotherapy study in Düsseldorf and studied Ethnology and Philosophy in Mainz for one year.
Last year, during my last study, I worked at Kunstasyl in Berlin. It is a project with and for asylum seekers, creating, reflecting and producing art that truely comes from the people themselves. Now there is an exhibition at the Museum of European Cultures Berlin called: daHeim: insights into fugitive lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I think the future lies in sharing and helping each other out when you can. Also you don't earn so much money when starting up as an artist...so all I can offer is sharing.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite MUSIC is traditional Balkan and Greek music at the moment. Also I love classical music, rock, progressive, hiphop, indie rock, instrumental, world music..there is something in every genre for me.
My favourite BOOKs at the moment are:
Nell Kimball: Her Life as an American Madame by Herself. - Christian Kracht: Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten. - Martin Buber: Ich und Du. - Marshall McLuhan: The medium is the Massage.
My favourite MOVIEs are definitely made by Quentin Tarantino.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found my dog at the animal shelter Mainz in 2012. I was searching for a dog for a long time already but couldn't really make a connection. I went to 5 different shelters. In Mainz they wanted to know who I was and then introduced Taifun to me. It was love at the first sight and we are together since then.
It's not so easy to have a dog while studying. Landlords are against animals, University don't want to see them in class..but we made it through everything together. Now Taifun is sick, he has an immune disease and needs to take a lot of medication. But we will manage that too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not to become a reflection
Of yourself in safe rejection
Not to be forever lonely
But in birth and dying only.

Not to want what you don't need
To not loose yourself in greed
Not to fill your life with hurt
Use your mind and share your words.

How great would the world be if it was ruled by respect, fairness and equality?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook traditional German food, Italian, French, a bit of Indian and Thai. I have an open mind and connect well with many people. I bring a beautiful little dog with me who gives you all the love you want. I like to have long talks but I can be quiet as well. I am respectful, honest and clean :D
