About Me

Artist, vegan, elfish creature, spiritual shapeshifting optimistic fox, a fool, everything is an experiment. making love to the Earth, seizing paradise like a watermelon in both hands. ready to rainbow bury oppression. fire in the cheeks, blood of a poet.

Often more creature than human.

Creation of new culture and seeking alternate, surprising ways of existing and creating are my favourite ways of using my life-force. I make art. Using photography, text, video, dance, sound and performance as tools.

I am kind, I honour honesty and communication and take things quite easily, I don't get easily stressed. I respect your personal space as much as I respect mine. I'm self-reliant when I need to be, and love doing things with a community vibe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I praise the spirit of generosity and I love how Couchsurfing opens doors for strangers to trust each other, for travelers to get a more experienced perspective of a place through the eyes of their host, for hosts to enjoy the company of someone with the moving, wide-eyed energy of a nomadic person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 7 days with 5 people willingly trapped inside one apartment, with a lot of art materials. The first 5 days we were in wordless silence, and the last 2 in complete pitch-darkness, speaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach / Share:

Art-related stuff, reading poetry out loud, sharing my knowledge on archetypal psychology, contact improvisation, theatrical improvisation, ritual and ceremony, playful games, photography, how to hallucinate without drugs, reading Tarot

Learn:

I'm open to whatever you wish to teach and share with me, whatever it is that makes you feel juicy and brings a smile to your face, or an expression of deep nurturing concentration.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Spontaneous art-creation, photography, audio, video, performance

- Vegan food

- Dancing

- I am happy to do chores around your home (for some reason I really enjoy dishes)
