COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can only say I have met too many nice people in this project... but you know, you can't too much niceness haha, so I just love this project!!

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a performance tour of a work by me and a dancer for a month, a "company" of just 2 people, went to Stockholm, Bergen, Melbourne, lost our luggage (along with most of our props), laptop broke down, people died (literally), and we managed to get an award out of that trip! (yeah basically the life of a poor artist).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share with you the life of a working artist...! It's not a usual life I can tell you haha. But I can assure you I am a nice person :))) And then something about watchmaking (but really elementary stuffs lol). Or the mysterious world of Kyudo (traditional Japanese archery) (yup sounds mysterious just by the sound of it).
