i'm an activist -- working as a musician and with performing arts to improve people's self esteem and living conditions. i climb and hike with youth groups, dance on stilts, play accordeon/clarinet/trombone/percussion, juggle with kids on the street, visit refugee camps and orphanages, and keep a clown nose handy in a pocket...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm nomadic, traveling most of the time i've been living -- i'm familiar with enterng an unknown city and playing on the streets, meeting people and asking if i can stay with them, so couchsurfing makes it easier -- to once in a while know where i'm staying a few days in advance!

when i lived in Frankfurt/Main, i often invited musicians i met to stay with me in the yurt.

now that I'm living in an okupa community in the woodland hills north of Barcelona, i hope to be able to host people sometimes =o)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

just one? =o)
cycled from Berlin to Rostov and continued by bike and train and hitchhiking trucks to Mongolia and throughout Asia, eastern Europe, Turkey and eastern Arabia.

then i took a deep breath and held it while watching the world go around in silence.
