CURRENT MISSION

I use to have business ambitions so to speak but slowly have realized other things and gotten to know my self better; essentially i'm most happy doing creative things and specifically i've found an outlet in photography....

EX - Art gallery owner, down in LA la land (Los angeles, CA)...

PHILOSOPHY

One day at a time; moment by moment...pursuing happiness is the primary goal and the journey is more relevant then the ultimate ambition ;)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Someone recommended about two years ago; because I was living in the gallery; seriously, they where trying to be helpful but never got around to trying CS out... Now i'm traveling to El Salvador to visit family and it suddenly occurred to me how fun this could be; making new friends in particular and sharing experiences...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I use to race bicycles in Europe as a teenager...climbed some amazing roads beautiful scenery and exciting down hills...

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'd love to teach people about photography, in particular developing b&w negatives; its so easy and so exciting when you finally open the developing container and see the results; usually for me this is in the bathroom next to the bathtub :) hahaha
