CURRENT MISSION
Living in San Francisco Bay Area for three months in order to research for my MA graduate movie at art school in Hamburg, Germany. One of its topics has to do with the Chinook nation and their history and with the fact that I carry this nickname for whatever reason since 14 years. I am working through a book called 'Naked against the rain' by Rick Rubin which is basically trying to revive remembrance of the Chinookians' history, for that reason. I will drive to various historical Chinook places between the Dalles Dam (former Celilo Falls, Long narrows and more) and the Columbia River's Estuary.

ABOUT ME
Here you will find samples of my video works:

I do not smoke, nor drink and I am allergic to dust mites, that is why I like to keep everything quite clean. My girlfriend uses to say wherever I stay it looks cleaner afterwards than before. I can not promise that for all cases though ;)

PHILOSOPHY
I didn't find out who I am, but I'm on my way on getting closer to myself I guess: Search for activity, activity changes.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love the idea to share living space and getting to know each other in an everyday setting by times getting together very close by spending a lot of time, by times providing a place to rest for wandering souls.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was lucky enough to meet a lot of friendly, interesting people for a glimpse of time.
