Heya

Currently I am on a tour called "designjahre" (designyears). It follows the principle of the traditional Wandergesellen/journeymen/compagnons to wander the world in order to work and to learn.
And I want to try this in my craft: Design.
I started in April 2019 and also write my thesis about this (and I really want to go to mexico in the summer).

I grew up in Osnabrück (Germany) and learned to like the city a lot. Also because it is - indeed - very nice.
After I grew too old and my parents decided they needed more room to themselves, I moved to Dessau to study Integrated Design. Integrated Design is kind of everything you can study in the Design Environment. I would call it the perfect degree for creatives who are bad in making decisions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to expand my toilet paper collection. Nothing about meeting interesting people to learn from or to collaborate/work/travel with at all.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am interested in everything about space. I read the Martian and really liked it (also watched the movie but the book is definitely better).

Other than that I love animated movies. So much work put into them. But the style has to be right.
And as far as music goes I had some country phases but the last one was quite a while ago. I guess I have songs for various situations or memories of my life so far.

Uh, and I really enjoy the "very potter musical" and "bushes of love". cheers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made oat flour by myself. Bought the oats though..

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning to play the ukulele. I try to become a fluent ukulele player. Emphasis on trying.. if I had my Ukulele with me, we could sing together. Or more: you sing and pause while I change the chords.
Also I learned to become horrible at playing the trumpet in over 6 years. A skill that is not easily achieved.

In addition I like to experiment with food. The outcome is mostly unique and/or surprising. Scale does not matter.
We can be lab partners and experiment together and perhaps I will share my oat flour recipe with you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Possibly some (bad) jokes and my vegetable cutting skills. When the time is right, we will probably have an all too promising and equally stupid (which is hilarious and great and the world needs stuff like that) idea for a startup/album/some design stuff.
