About Me

I am a photographer (people, documentary) and visual artist (working with site-specific projections). I lived one year in Germany, for the past 6 years I've spent much of my time in Austria. Did an internship in Amsterdam for 6 months. That was amazing :) I travelled in Europe a bit (Scandinavia, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary, Spain).

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
