CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and broaden my mind.

ABOUT ME

I'm a filmmaker who makes animated short films using frame by frame backlit techniques. Lots of paper and plastic cut-outs and paint. I grew up moving around in Europe (not missionary/army/political brat, but academic brat! My dad is a university professor) and consider myself a TCK (Third Culture Kid). I still think a lot about notions of belonging/not belonging, cultural identity, etc. I lived in Seattle for 5 years and still miss it a lot. I am currently based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

PHILOSOPHY

uhm, that's a tough one...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
