I work with visuals and spaces — in film as a lighting and set designer, and also by making furniture and interior objects, collecting tableware and things that bring coziness. I like improving spaces and building atmosphere.

I travel a lot, often hitchhiking, hiking and now I’m filming a documentary about my journeys. I enjoy sports like cycling, running and climbing, as well as music, DJing, and photography. I love side quests on the streets, stepping out of my comfort zone and turning challenges into stories

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me it’s not about free accommodation. I travel to meet people, share stories and see places through the eyes of those who live there. Couchsurfing is a way to connect, not just to find a bed

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m into films with strong stories and atmosphere, from timeless classics to unusual indie gems. In music I dive into many directions — from ambient and IDM to blues, experimental hip hop and beyond. Books for me are a way to shift perspective, so I read across genres depending on the moment
