About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Whatever Floats Your Boat

ABOUT ME

I just came home from six months in Beirut, now I'm in Copenhagen for a while (couch surfing myself) and in September I'll move to Den Haag for seven months.

PHILOSOPHY

Go explore/Satre was smarter/Magic Eightball.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot to do photo projects, and I always try to stay at locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept at many couches (and floors) in my life - with CS the couches are now organized and stay in touch.

Interests

I have a weakness for photography and design. I love magazines, books, new places and such.

If you want to know more about what kind of photography I'm interested in take a look at this blog I edit with my boyfriend letselopetoday.tumblr.com.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Krzysztof Kieslowski's cinematographer and dogma movies in general.

I like Tom Waits, Koop and Coco Rosie

I like everything by Kundera and Murakami. The Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. A little Robbe-Grillet as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a photographer I tend to end up in strange, amazing situations quite a lot. I've been questioned by Hezbollah, I've photographed M.I.A. in front of 80.000 people, I've been tear gassed by the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo and I've spent a month driving around Cuba just to mention some.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you:
- The alphabet in sign language.
- Basic camera settings.
- How to write your name in Arabic.
(Well, would have made a long list, but suddenly can't think of anything useful. I have a typical journalist-mind. I know a little about a lot.)

Countries I’ve Visited

Bulgaria, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States
