I am a participant in CS for several years and love the idea of a bed around the world. I am a photographer documentarist and artist.

I am an open book in letting you into my life but will ask the same of you. I like a good laugh. I enjoy music a lot (socialized with Blondie and the Cure) I am not very much into TV things or games. I like food and am quiet a good cook. I love contradictions in many ways.

For work I have different homepages, if you are interested in my work or photography, please ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for couches and making new friends, getting inside knowledge and sights of the city which aren't visible for the casual tourist.

Interests

By the things I collect I can say I am into photo books with documentary pictures and portraits. I am a social guy volunteering as much as I can. I listen to vinyl records (yes it has something to do with my age). I love to sit on the couch or lie on a carpet. I love coffee, cheese and dried fruits.

I think religion is strictly private.
