Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people. People’s life stories are my best source of inspiration.
I believe that good things always come back to you.
Honesty, generosity and mutual care are key to happiness.
Treat others the way you want to be treated (though I am not religious, I stick with this one).

Always looking to discover traditional music of different cultures.
Religious and tribal choir chants.
Experimental modular music, contemporary composers.
Musique concrète. Spoken word. Beautiful voices.
Any sound that burns a hole in my chest.

I read a lot. Especially philosophic and theatre literature.
Last book that made me cry is "Into the forest" by Jean Hegland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Road trip around Iceland. Tremendously beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am really passionate and can talk for hours about the capacities of the human body and the ways to make it intelligent and independent : nutrition, exercise, daily routine, breathing, etc.
Or we can have a nice deep-stretch session instead :)
