CURRENT MISSION

Making it to New York City on our old timer side-car vehicles before Xmas...

ABOUT ME

Flexible, friendly, considerate - occasionally accompanied by awkward humor

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

With our Ural motorcycles we have a lot of breakdowns and breakdowns are a great way to meet people.
In Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia and the far east of Russia it was easier to meet local hospitality outside of the internet context. In N.America couchsurfing is the perfect way to come in contact with people and get to know what local hospitality means...

Interests

The last 2 years of my life, or our lives have mainly been called "leavinghomefunktion - on the landway to new york".
You can check out our transcontinental project at www.leavinghomefunktion.com.

We are a group of young arts graduates from Europe and got together to do a research on adapting to foreign land conditions, cultures and how to solve breakdown situations in innovative and efficient ways.

Before this I was working on projects such as: www.howtokillawitch.tumblr.com
The main interest of this research was about how social clusters form rules and rituals. This is still in progress and will follow a project called www.howtosaveamermaid.tumblr.com (this will be focused more on how morals and ethics develop in social clusters)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove up the 1000 mile Kolyma river in the Far East of Russia. We did this by replacing the final drives of our Urals with propellers.
Apart from that I would say living for 2 years+ in a sidecar is quite the experience :)
