About Me

Hey, I really like nature and technology and architecture, and somehow the intersection of the three. I’m actually a filmmaker, my company makes brand and product films for startups and crypto projects. I like to build things. Right now I am getting into permaculture (I need to make a food forest!!) and learning more about architecture and property development, I have a very big plan but takes too long to explain here. I play guitar, little bit piano. Have 2 cats (best 2 cats in the world, I believe it) I like to take cold showers or pool dips in the morning and exercise a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet likeminded people, who have lived on this planet as I have, it is always interesting how similar our lives actually were, are and will be. The world is an exciting place, and I have not met enough cool people yet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took LSD and literally saw the physical energy and endless love between plants and the sun. I like to explore plants and meditation, but I am careful about my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. - Alan Watts (guilty of getting trapped in that panic myself 😅)
