About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life and try new stuff

ABOUT ME

I think I’m a relaxed, funny and patient person, full of interest and energy, curiosity for learning and trying new stuff, I laugh a lot, mechanically to all situations, and I have no idea why I do so.

PHILOSOPHY

Be always in move and be stimulated in a new situation. *lookin’ back and be a master of the life:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and have surfed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think the best moment of traveling happened on couchsurfing. I tried several times not using it just to compare, but really, couchsurfing is the best way to go!

Interests

I like to go around the city, I use to go to urban farmings, "alternative" social center (but I'm not an Okupa;)), some volunteers in self-built houses, usually be interesting materials like cobs, canes, straw bales. I like to keep my mind open and go to new places that give me some feedback, and all stuff about "creation without purpose". (Wide definition: art of cuisine, contemporary art, historic heritages). I love to go swimming in the sea...

Graffiti of Bansky, esp. his stone work in metropolitan museum and the design of Krystof Wodiczko: that´s conquer the street!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is not to say publicly.

Teach, Learn, Share

Am I a craftsman?
Technics: manderin (traditional), choragraphy (the writing one, and seriously, I have practiced it for a long time), Chinese painting. Quick sketch, oil painting in everything. I also did sculptures, portrait, in plaster and in bronze. If you want to have a little guy (you, in bronze) on your bedframe, I can show you how:)
haha!! I once dreamed to be a street painter.

I'm now doing doctorate thesis in fine art, focusing on public art, just learning how to write a great paper.

The other thing that i want to share is the dancing and singing of indigenous people in Taiwan, there´re 10 tribes, which belong to the south pacific ethnic.

Countries I’ve Lived In
