CURRENT MISSION

climbing the tree and staying with the bees, never coming back

ABOUT ME

railroad. desert. rays of sun. my typewriter and the dust that sediments on it. i love looking when the light is too intense and the landscape gets blurry. the simple fact that life exist keeps me awake at night. my friends have taught me how to be a human being, and i am forever grateful. raptured and seized by the poetry of it All, sometimes i collapse under the laughter that it causes. and then dance, dance dance, and talk talk talk, fixed and looking ahead into infinity with the expression of a stone carving, immutable, and unmovable, queer, or just lost into the smooth sound of my own bullshit...always up to hear the sound of other's people own bullshit, as long as they are sincere.

PHILOSOPHY

keep your eyes wide open, before or after, you'll find it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a small, very bright, very windowy, zen flat in london, and i have a very comfortable sofa that turns into a bed and is surrounded by books and paintings. a good place to rest or sit and be. If we get along i can show you london and its history, hidden places, magical spots and the syntax that makes this city so unique and beautiful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

this is the beginning...

Interests

fencing, writing, typewriters, dances and fires, deserts, mountains, the whole of humanity, the whole of the night, the whole of the cosmos, walking, talking, having coffee without sugar, looking at my friends gleaming in beauty, hands and knuckles, and truth. sailing, the sea, the wave, the moon at night over the water, tekno, bach, being possessed on the dancefloor and then after a long long night coming out and looking at the bright morning sky WITHOUT sunglasses, green leaves, and autumn, everything that is happening on a stage, and everything that can climb out of it, poetry, visions, museums and their staircases, those who smile and those who cry, seagulls, owls, windowpanes, white tea, being exhausted cause of too much moving, lying on the floor looking up, shouting verses across the room.
