About Me

CURRENT MISSION

recording a record and learning Japanese

ABOUT ME

I like doing synthesizer experiments and making collages.
I also co-run an experimental cassettelabel, Hare Akedod.

I wanted to start travelling as soon as possible, because the experience is life changing. I'm amazed by other cultures, new people and cool stories, I'm actually intrigued by almost everything, ha. Also I'm eager to learn and understand things I do not know yet, I'm learning Japanese right now. Hanging out with friends, doing karate and just having fun with simple things fills the rest of my time.

PHILOSOPHY

Shit happens.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a fan of hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I did couchsurfing was six years ago in Alaska. I immediately fell in love with the concept. Hospitality and sharing lifetime experiences on beautiful places around the world is the best way to work on your personal development as a human being. Couchsurfing made it possible to travel around in a not expensive way and to meet awesome people! Thanks!

Interests

I like dada art, baroque churches, horror movies, Japanese culture, animals, karate, welding and the combo of beer and cheese.
