About Me

i'm in theatre. always busy doing stuff, organizing projects, performing on stage, sitting in darkend rehearsel rooms with a bunch of friends talking about ideas, thoughs or the exitance of substantiality...
apart from that i try to see and meet a lot of different things: people, citys, art, nature. if there's no time to do all this on travels i try to enjoy hamburg and berlin as much as possible: meeting friends, being in parks or at the water, going out for dancing to electronic music, going out for dancing to swinging music, buying stuff at markets (foodmarkets to cook nice dishes, fleamarkets for everything else), going to museums, to the movies, to bars to whatever exiting hidden things there are to find. i especially enjoy playing all kinds of games, particularly urban ones that make you see the city from another perspective and lead you to any of the said above..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess the biggest part I do for the couchsurfing world is to tell everybody what a great thing it is.

Apart from that I have been hosting a lot when I lived in Berlin and surfed everytime I left my house for travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: David Lynch. and David Lynch.
I very much enjoy movies that make me question the linearity of narratives, time, and space. That's sometimes fantasy, that's sometimes future-shit, that's sometimes not to define.

I've lately gotten real deep into tv shows: House of cards, Orange is the new black, Breaking Bad, American Horror Story. and more.

Books I am taking on my trip to the Westcoast:
Jonatham Lethem: Dissident gardens.
Laurie Penny: Meat Market
Mithu M. Sanyal: Vulva
Donna Haraway: Simians, Cyborgs and Women

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i try to do/see/consider something amazing every day. apart from that i've been (and am) deeply in love, danced to wonderful music and met fantastic people (from) all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

"What if we assumed that learning is as much a part of our human nature as eating or sleeping, that it is both life-sustaining and inevitable, and that – given a chance – we are quite good at it? And what if, in addition, we assumed that learning is, in its essence, a fundamentally social phenomenon, reflecting our own deeply social nature as human beings capable of knowing?"
Etienne Wenger: "Communities of practice"

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from maybe cooking or dressing up in a crazy way I guess Ican mostly share my view on things. Studying and doing performance art has changed my focus on urban routines, collecitive activities and the order and organization of things. I enjoy sharing that perspective and trying it with someone elses eyes.
