Aloha,

As a former student in history of art and being a photographer right now I try to show the uniqueness, the quirkiness and the beauty of things.
Since I think it is time to see more of the world and to explore life I'll be travelling for a couple of months through the States and Canada and preferably go to Australia afterwards. On my way I will photograph the people I stay with and/or find interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to meet local people and I am interested in their stories and lives (and would like to photograph them as well!).

Interests

making portraits, talking about love, cooking healthy, smelling flowers, going to the beach, sitting in the shadow on a very hot super sunny day, listening to birds and Maria Callas.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite singers are India Arie, Aretha Franklin, Neil Young, Ella Fitzgerald, Van Morrison, Maria Callas, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Raphael Saadiq and many more I always forget about.. you are very welcome to introduce me to other music.

here a nice song for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k9UOYRvP-E

One of my new favorite movies is Bridge of Spies.. I loved it because it touched me right in my heart because of the bravery and the humanity. It's so brave when people set aside their own needs and securities for a bigger cause. Films like Bridget Jones, Practical Magic, I can really really appreciate as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got goosebumps -> the first time I saw real mountains - when I saw the most beautiful fireworks ever in Bergerac, France 14th of july 2010 - All the time I was in New York - the beautiful sea in Greece -

Teach, Learn, Share

I think there is always something you can learn from eachother.
But in particular I could teach you dutch.. or explain you somethings about camera's and photography.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I am a portraitphotographer and love to photograph people.. I can portray you if you would like that.
