ABOUT ME

I am a determined perfectionist when it comes to drawing and painting.

PHILOSOPHY

"Haggard und Lír und Drinn, du und ich, wir befinden uns mitten in einem Märchen und müssen gehen, wohin es führt. Das Einhorn aber ist Wirklichkeit."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

very passively, it appears.
I kind of feel bad surfing without hosting...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far very, very positive.
I really like that one gets to know a place from another perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not really amazing, but being stranded on Ulleung-do off the Korean mainland because of terribly bad weather was a special experience.

Otherwise: diving with seals! And nurse sharks.
