Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to meet locals + the minimalism of life + a little bit of adventure. Oh haha and yes, artist never have money for hotels :)

So far my only couchsurfing experience was hosting a lovely girl named Chanté in my flat in Munich while I was studying. She was super fun and it showed me how nice it is to help someone out by something as simple as a mattress and a piece of floor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think my favorite thing so far was living in a van for 2,5 months and travel the us -west coast. The minimalism of that lifestyle was freeing and beautiful. Realizing you don't need a shower every day, you can eat the same thing every morning and you don't need more than two pair of shoes is amazing.
