I am a Berlin based painter and student.

My mission this year is getting into the art academy of my dreams in California.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Curiosity. Traveling is about getting to know places - and ourselves- the most extensive way. For that it is so important and enriching to meet people, share with them their ideas, philosophies, favorite spots, learn from them, exchange, meet, divide, meet again.... So lets start ! :-)

Interests

I am obsessed with any kind of drawing. I love making things. I love translating my experiences and my perception of the world into something tangible. Traveling is one of the best things to feed this need.

But life would also be pretty grey without cake, good food, cool and sometimes nerdy music, exhibitions, water (i just swim in the mediterranean sea for the first time - wow!) , story listening and random everyday life poetry.

Music, Movies, and Books

An emotional, unstructured, nerdy, creative mix.
My very recent heroes are St.Vincent, Aimee Man, Garbage, Imogen Heap and Nils Fram.
My all-time heroes are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dresden Dolls, Massive Attack ... and all those other great people. And I love musicals.

Disco Bloodbath, HAIR, Wes Anderson, Spike Jonze.
Currently I´m obsessed with cooking movies á la Julia Child. Same goes for books: I´m hooked on Anthony Bourdain.

Fascinating authors include Janet Fitch, Matt Ruff, Miranda July, Bill Nichols, Judith Butler, Hermann Hesse

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently recorded a song with a Musician friend. Super nerdy on my side - tons of fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

Recently I started playing music again - are you into percussion? Can you teach me some chords or your favourite song on the guitar or piano? I will be forever grateful. :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company. Friendship

I´d love to sketch your apartment!

A couch or meet in Berlin after I return from California.

Making dinner or providing drinks service while someone else makes dinner. Also I do dishes faster then anyone else in the world. :-)
