CURRENT MISSION

To run fast doesn't necessarily mean that I will arrive. Going deep.

ABOUT ME

I'm studying photography and visual communication in Lausanne, Switzerland. Grown up in a small country with four official languages; at some point in my adolescence I got aware of how important it is, especially to somebody like me whose mother tongue is a dialect only spoken by some 4 million persons in the world, to learn other languages.
I love books. I open them, they open me. It means travelling in somebody else's thoughts...
Why photography? I want to be aware of what happens. I want to know. this immense curiosity - sometimes a burden, mostly a gift. Photography forces you to be conscient of what happens around you. And I simply love to process from a vague idea to a finished object, adopt something and make it entirely mine; discover something, or somebody, I didn't know it exists, or I could ever like it, and start knowing - start loving it...

PHILOSOPHY

whatever you do, do it with passion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm rather on the surfing than the hosting side of the coin ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although already having travelled in different corners of the earth, couchsurfing is a new thing to me, and I'm looking forward to meeting likeminded people all over the globe!

Camus, H. Köhler, C.G. Jung, Susan Sontag; even if I probably don't understand half of it - this one half gets me far...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving through Ireland with my father when I was 13, all the way up listening to afro celt sound system.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you swiss german, it's the language of the hobbits. useless in a global view, but very funny. Soccer. Something about photography probably, and how not to spoil your black and white films when developing in the dark room. climbing on trees, (or on statues, if there ain't trees)...
