I am 29 years old and I love exploring.

I study camera at a film academy. Before, I was working in a big public broadcast company as an audiovisual media creator. And I also work as a freelancer, where I do mainly music videos and portrait sessions with artists.

You can catch me with distinctive new music, beautiful places, jam sessions, photograph and filming sessions, stunning art and talks about life, passion, relations, ...

I am trying to live a sustainable life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m couch surfing to get in touch with locals, to get to know a place through the eyes of an inhabitant. I want to meet new and interesting people, want to learn from them. I want to hang, or having some nice chats.

I like having an exchange of cultures and interests, of music, of arts...

I want to see the truth of a place, not just the surface. As I am photographing a lot, I am not that much into capturing, what is captured already plenty times a day... I want to discover magic places. I want to keep the emotional scenes.

And I think Couchsurfing is a really sustainable way of accommodation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Colombia for three months and worked in a local radio station.

Quit an amazing job after 5 years, to move on, to learn more and not get stuck.

What I can recommend a lot: International work camps.
I just had positive experiences. In France, Spain, Germany, Portugal ...

Just ask me about it ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more about different lifestyles, cultures and cooking styles.

It is inspiring to go out, taking pictures with different people, maybe even photographers and moviemakers. I always get new perspectives.

I could help you find a keen eye for photographs (at least, I could try ;-) )

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can prepare some healthy meatless food for you! ;-)

I can offer taking photos.
