I grew up in Germany but moved to the Netherlands already years ago. I am a social person and I have almost all my live lived communal and I enjoy co-creating experiences.

I studied Psychology and made experience design my profession, trying to find and create adventure in a society who has made it their strength to create predictable routines for most of its population.

I try to take the big things in life lightly while being serious about the small things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

there are many aspects in movies I like. For example, the laconic style of Jim Jarmusch, the bizarre humor of Wes Anderson, the black humor of the Coen Brothers, the surreal style of David Lynch etc.

I like my music psychedelic and a little bit unorthodox. Ideally it surprises me and has a touch of sadness and irony.

I used to like reading classic german literature like Th. Mann, H.Heine, Hr.Böll, F.Kafka, B.Brecht but now I'm finding myself more often reading into contemporary American literature such as Bret Easton Ellis, David Foster Wallace, Chuck Palanuik, David Sedaris and so on..

Traveled by land route from Germany to China, then lived half a year in South Korea
