ABOUT ME

Born in Wuppertal in West-Germany, I moved to a small village near Hanover, then to Kiel in North-Germany. I lived in Coffs Harbour, Australia for 1 year, came back and went to Hamburg to study and finished my studies in Portsmouth in South England. I finally moved to Berlin in 2005.

Now I work as freelance Illustrator, Artist, Graphic Designer, Photographer, Animator. I live in Neukölln and share a studio-loft with friends in Kreuzberg.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a good person to couchsurf with on a medium to short notice. I usually don't know exactly what i will do in three or four weeks as I work freelance and also travel a lot on short notice myself.

I equally like to host and travel. I try to be a good host and give people a good place to stay at where they feel welcome and like home. When travelling, I enjoy meeting people and learn about the way they live and think.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have joined CS after couchsurfing across the USA with my friend Brooke in March 2009. The experiences on this first CS trip have been so great that i joined straight away. Ever since I have made the most wonderful experiences with the CS people all over the world. It always amazes me again how kind and hospitable people are!
