Chasing happiness

ABOUT ME

If you could do your work from anywhere in the world, then why not do it? Two years ago I left my appartment, sold all my furniture and started moving across the globe. The ink on my masters diploma was hardly dry, but I was already boarding a plane. Many flights would follow: work is everywhere. “But where do you sleep when you don’t have a home?” is a question often asked.

My answer is now a blog; in cars, vans, trucks, tents, motels, hotels, hostels, squats, on ships, boats and couches of friends and strangers.

Voyeurism 2.0: see what (who) I see when I wake up, read what I was doing there and join me on my journey around the world:

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading books in their original language. I have an ever expanding international music collection that I add to continuously whilst traveling. I work a lot for film and documentary festivals and love the non-mainstream movies they screen!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Building rafts out of junk in Philadelphia, constructing a hotel out of snow and ice in Lapland and renovating the big mosque in Mali with river clay

Teach, Learn, Share

5 languages, anything food related, but making the best pasta from scratch is a good one to start with, yoga, photo retouching, ukulele songs
