CURRENT MISSION

Trying to stay sane amidst this terrible war and suffering, raising our kids to be loving of all people, keeping hope that this government one day will finally be replaced with conscientious and empathic leaders, that the people of Palestine and Israel can live in peace

ABOUT ME

Artist-researcher-designer fascinated by atmospheres and inner spaces
Trying to comprehend the difference between true happiness and enlightenment.

LOVE IS ALL, PERCEPTION IS TEMPORARY.
We have two little kids, who are the greatest teachers and challengers of precisely this lesson.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

CS EXPERIENCE

Ages ago in India, Nepal and South America before there was any system to surfing and had the best times there. Much later there were couches in Europe and Taiwan, and some lovely mattresses in the North Pacific Islands, island style, of course! We hosted heaps back in Melbourne, Vienna, Singapore and Phu Quoc as well, which was always excellent.

Centres d'intérêt

Conceptual art, yoga, meditation, good tunes/music, gardening, roughing it when travelling... with a focus on sustainable lifestyle. Love to go volunteering and staying in local communities, especially with the kids. Traveling as a way of life, to keep us open and connecting, the infinite school of life. Work in graphic design, love colour and textures!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

From experimental sound to live guitar and reggae chill, but more specifically maybe the Smashing Pumpkins, Talvin Singh, Nitin Sawhney, the Doors, Philipp Glass, Palestrina, Diwan Project, Sigur Ros, Cat Power, El Camaron, Krishna Das, Ravi Shankar, Nine Inch Nails, Caravasar, Jeff Buckley, the Cat Empire, Tori Amos and surely many more...

Writers I'd love to meet one day include Neale Donald Walsh, Eckhart Tolle, Haruki Murakami, Jostein Gaarder and James Redfield, whilst taking up contact with the spirits of Michael Ende, Osho and Peter Ouspensky.

If I ever bought myself a tv, I'd repeatedly watch all Werner Herzog, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Waking Life, Dead Man, Andrei Rublev, The Fall, Donnie Darko, Vengo, Play Time, Kundun and of course our dodgy home-made video recordings of past times...

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Climbing the glacier volcano Cotopaxi in Ecuador with my friend, summiting at 6000 meters, then him snowboarding down with me photographing him. It was only us two, since no others on the exposed south face. After 10 days I was glad to return alive.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Here's a small selection of the infinite sea of possibilities:

I can teach you all about your camera's manual settings, i.e. how to use your camera intelligently, singing Swedish lullabies and how to challenge yourself in a zentai suit!

Maybe someone can help me improve my singing? In addition, I'd love to learn more about speed reading, lucid dreaming and design thinking.

Always love to share music jams, contact improv, and of course the good old beautiful, co-created home-cooked meal!
