As somewhat of a third culture kid I’ve always felt a bit like a tourist no matter where I call home. A few years ago I spent a long stretch working on various art projects, which gave me an incredible sense of freedom and flexibility while also teaching me how to live simply and keep my expenses low. It’s a trade-off I’ve always found more than worth it.

Some of the photos here are from that chapter of my life when I was travelling solo and wandering from place to place in my oldtimer mobile home, documenting artists and eccentric souls along the way. That journey shaped a lot of who I am today.

These days, the story has evolved: I’m now travelling together with my lady, and it’s added a whole new dimension to the experience :) We’ve both built our lives in a way that allows travel to be a continuous source of inspiration and growth. With every new place, we find ourselves picking up not just memories, but new ways of seeing the world.

We both come from big families, which taught us to be adaptable, communicative, and at ease in shared spaces :) While our professional paths are different (she works in a kindergarten and I work with events), we’re aligned in what matters to us: curiosity, playfulness, personal growth, and the desire to contribute something meaningful wherever we go.

So while this profile still carries traces of my solo adventures, it now really represents the two of us as we continue the journey together, still curious, still learning, and always grateful for the people we meet along the way.

And a local helping hand (or couch) still makes all the difference! 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled through every mainland country in Europe with my van for two+ years (and ended up on Moldova’s national news haha!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm.. I feel like we learn the most from others by simply observing how they carry themselves, act in different situations, and how they discuss and debate.

As for something more specific, I have most experience within sound design and music; and limited experience within painting, sculpting, installations, video art, film, and writing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from the road, a taste of what I have learned so far, and a sincere appreciation for your hospitality!
