About Me

Passionate artist, free(dom) software advocate, DIY fanatic.
Conscious about anti-oppression stuff.
I am quiet but fairly social depending on the context. I make art and love to share its magic with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been sharing my couches for a while, but I don't get many requests from couchsurfing. I also offer my couches to friends of friends and through warm showers.

Our home is pretty awesome, we like to provide excellent times to our guests. Recent quote from a surfer: "This is by far the coolest home I have stayed in and I have been to 30 countries".

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy music and creating in parallel (light shows/vj)
Mostly a wide variety of electronic music. IDM, techno and chill out particularly.

Losing interest in movies, get annoyed at movies that pathetically fail the Bechdel test. I am more into creating at the moment.

Reading is nice but I don't do it very often. I get distracted with thoughts allot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosting Richard Stallman for a few days.
(yet an other person hosted outside of CS)

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in software freedom.
Sharing knowledge is very important.
I am happy to share all of my knowledge and would love some of yours!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can do projection mapping in your living room and I can teach you how to do it too! I will have a projector.
I can help you fix your bike, or fix your bike.
Super happy to share my knowledge of free software.
