About Me

ABOUT ME
I wish I were a punk, but I'm only a hippie

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Australia on a working holiday visa just like any other German here, just 12 years later :D

PHILOSOPHY

Curiosity keeps me alive. Quiero saber. Quiero vivir.

Be kind, bring peace and joy, but remember that one valid answer to the question: "What would Jesus do?" is to "Storm the temple and destroy private property of greedy bankers"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host back in Berlin until couchsurfing sorta died. Now I am travelling myself again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and been hosted.

Interests

I mainly play the piano/synth but as every modern-day musician, I play many instruments badly (drums, Guitar, vocals etc.). I love to improvise, so let's jam!!!

But as most modern-day musicians, I don't have a band, I am a solo artist. I have made a one-woman synth cabaret show - Mely Beans! It's very niche though. The niche being left-wing, slightly frustrated, very hedonistic German speakers.

Other than that, I am a failed politician. Cheers!
