ABOUT ME

'Whenever you create, you resist. Freeing life from prisons men have created. And that is what resistance is. That is obviously what artists do, and I mean there is no art that doesn't also liberate a power of action for life, there is no art of death, first of all.' -G. Deleuze

PHILOSOPHY

'I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: I am, I am, I am.' -Sylvia Plath

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf, host and meet for the occasional coffee and sightseeing tour.

Interests

I write, make theatre, walk the streets while listening to music, study new languages, read theory, throw extravagant dinner parties, talk about art and life and philosophy, find treasures in second-hand shops, walk my black dog, go to performances and concerts and exhibitions, watch the ocean, climb mountains, play classical piano and jump on trampolines.
