About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, learn stuff, get inspired and experience as much food culture as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a cook, by trade, and a fanatical eater. Recently I have been trying to carve out a lifestyle where I can travel, cook and eat in places where there is an intensive, traditional food culture. Apart from that I would like to try my hand at anything. Wanderlust sums it up. I like to learn about anything and everyone! Meeting people, talking, sharing experiences, trading skills and exploring makes me happy.

PHILOSOPHY

The limits of life are limits of the imagination. Look after eachother.
Don't be an asshole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

General bonding...It's fun to chat, share, have adventures, get wasted, cook, philosophise, try something new, acquire skills, dance terribly or participate in karaoke when the opportunity arises.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Officially through this website it's mostly surfing so far as I am not very settled down but have hosted and surfed many friends and friends of friends that all just become family. It's been so much fun hanging out with local interesting people. Loving it!

Interests

cooking, food, eating, music, football, drinking, street food, talking, finding the romance in life, listening, meditation, yoga, photography, nature, places with an interesting atmosphere, sandwiches, big cities, mountains, old stuff, jumping off things into water, history, cheese, sports and activities (skiing,snowboarding,hiking,football,frisby), games, films, books

Music, Movies, and Books

All music, anything thats good, its hard to put into a list without going way overboard...but...classic rock (led zeppelin, pink floyd) hip hop (people under the stairs,a tribe called quest, wu tang) trip hop (bonobo, nightmares on wax) various kinds of electronic, mainly bass heavy like drum n bass, jungle, dubstep, breakcore, glitch (amon tobin, flying lotus, venetian snares, shpongle) cheesy classics (beegees, beach boys, eagles) jazz, funk, disco, soul, rare-groove, Motown, folk, bossanova, metal, pretty much whatever i can get my hands on.
Books, similar deal, but i like to read modern classics and anything with a darkside. george orwell (especially 1984 and down in out in london and paris, really like his random essays too) one flew over the cuckoos nest, fear and loathing, catch 22, the great gatsby, babbettes feast, kitchen confidential, some irvine welsh, food writers like dan barber, nigel slater, mfk fisher.
films like oldboy, casablanca, pans labrynth, lock stock, man on wire, cohen brothers stuff, the guard, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, restrepo, tarentino, ... i'm sure there's more...
i also liked the wire and relax with nature and history documentaries and anything by david attenborough
