Here's a little Update. The last About Me section was kind of old.

I am from a small town close to the Alps in South Germany called Kempten. I have a high appreciation for nature since I grew up between beautiful lakes, mountains, hills and flourishing fields.
In my spare time I love to meet friends and new friends. Let's play cards, board games, have too many beers, explore cultural changes and be crazy.. :)

I am in love with movement and like to document my entire experiences through my cameras. Photography turned out to be my biggest passion and I can't ever think of quitting that part. I began to shoot my friends and landscapes. In these days I am meeting with strangers, artists and other wonderful individuals for (also paid) jobs. I also take urban&landscape shots. To bring my arts to the professional level with a great reputation is my dream.

There are also other plans and paths that I am following:
After quitting my studies in 6th semester of electrical industrial engineering I moved to Berlin and then to Hamburg. I worked at a music label for 2 years and till today I am a Assistant Producer and sometimes Producer for commercial films. My ambition is it to be a Producer for Artists & Brands that I truly believe in. I do put a lot of effort and work into this goal so I am often quite busy preparing and executing shootings with my wonderful team.

I live with my wonderful girlfriend in the heart of St. Pauli :)

I am not a luxury oriented person and like to keep it simple. I have certain standards when it comes to hygiene but all in all I'd say I am a basic person.

There's a big affinity to Portugal, Brazil and the language Portuguese and Italian

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

it's the perfect concept to travel the way how I like it the most.. making new connections, friends and keeping it environmentally in balance.
