Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to sing my way around the world and bump into a whole bunch of humans on the way.
ABOUT ME
After a brief stint in physics, I abandoned my beautiful (but somewhat too quiet) homeland to pursue my passion for... music! I sing mostly baroque opera but am open to all sorts of fantastic crossover experiments, with contemporary dance, theatre, perhaps a bit of hip-hop and electronica...
Most of all I love getting out of the house and traveling, meeting and working with all sorts of people.
PHILOSOPHY
an ardent humanist with a deep-rooted belief in the potential of the human spirit to do great things.
put together Marsilio Ficino, Giordano Bruno, insert a bit of Oscar Wilde and Stephen Hawking and you're getting the idea :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have a spare room for up to 2 people (separate room with a very comfy double air mattress), caveat is that I'm rarely there to let you in!
For anyone who needs to stay in Dusseldorf for a week or more, I do rent out my place on occasion when I'm not there, so feel free to write if you need a "pied-a-terre" in western Germany.
