CURRENT MISSION

to fight for humanity and against global warming

ABOUT ME

I am a stage, documentary and street photographer and work/worked for the Staatstheater Schwerin and several theaters and opera houses in Hamburg and Berlin.

Here are some of my photos and videos: www.brainslave.org

But I also have a crush on the east. Last year I went for a photo essay to Kyrgyzstan and next year I would like to do the same in Moldavia

I have lived in four countries and I very much like to talk to, be with and shoot (take photos of) people of any culture, religion or nation.

PHILOSOPHY

There is more that connects us than what separates us

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I moved back from Berlin to Schwerin in October 2017. Originally I am from Hamburg but also lived in Madrid (Spain), Brighton (UK) and San Jose (USA). I know how it is like to be in a foreign city and how much more fun it is to have somebody to help you to find the interesting places instaed of running with the crowd. I like CS because it demonstrates international spirit and offers a way to overcome national bounderies.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted and was hosted several times. And in June 2012 I initiated an international photo project: 365-international which breathes the cs spirit.

80 photographers from 50 countries take a photo each day for 365 days and add the title headline of a national paper.
