I worked as an system administrator for the last years. Tired of starring at screens, I quitted the job to build up a freelance career as documentary photographer / videographer.

Last year I applied for an work and travel visa for Canada and got it. So I am traveling through Canada this year. I want to document things that interest me: protest, social injustice & interesting stories about human beings in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn more about other people and cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking. My Königsberger Klopse (Meatballs) are famous. But I also love to cook Thai Soups (I like them veeery hot!), Italian Pasta or vegan curries. Maybe I can teach you some nice recipes?
Also I can teach you how to take photographs, video or how to record Audio.

I am very interested in stories, how people live their lives and what makes them tick. So I would love to learn about you.
