Hi!

I'm a photographer and writer living in New York City. Philosophy, art, cooking, travel and soccer are the things that inspire me the most in life. I enjoy meeting and making friends with people, sharing ideas and history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to Couchsurfing, but I came here because I figured it would be good to meet people while wandering around in this strange phase of my life. I'm also here to find inspiration for my book project. But even more, I am interested in meeting and sharing experiences with people. And learning how to cook regional food!

Music, Movies, and Books

Five of my favorite books I've read in the last year:
1. Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities
2. Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
3. W.G. Sebald, Austerlitz
4. Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Litte Man!
5. Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

I enjoy all kinds of movies, even "commercial" films. My favorite directors are Alfonso Cuaron and Yoros Lanthimos and Jean Luc Goddard

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to NYC with a suitcase and $500.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've spend much of my life studying to teach philosophy, and I am always happy to share what I have learned, for it gives me great joy. However, these days I prefer more to get out of my head and to see and listen to the world around me, as well as to learn what others find enjoyable in life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to share my home, my cooking, my experience, and my familiarity of New York. But if you're not careful I will start to push my philosophy books onto you... !
