About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life the best ways I find, and use mine in a way that other life forms can enjoy it as well.

ABOUT ME

Lifetime adventurer, lone wolf, pirate without a ship, agent of contradiction, that's me!

PHILOSOPHY

Taoist and positively nihilist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By offering some room in or around my shack, and some guidance on stuff to do and see in the area if needed.

Will like to cook as well, but not much equipped for group feasts.
Bonfires!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many, mostly abroad, but not within the frame of CouchSurfing.

Interests

Music (real music!), biking, gardening and natural sciences, dance, writing and reading stuff, chilling out, exploration, social struggles, long walks across nature (including the so-called human "nature"), savoring the rare, precious moments of doing absolutely nothing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eclectic for the music, got evolving tastes, but anything that's deep and has a soul, from slow jazz to extreme metal, from bossa nova to hardcore punk, from baroque to old, crusty rock, and folk music from many places.
Reads literature that very few people read usually. Marquis de Sade, situationists, Mirbeau, Beaudelaire, Mark Twain...
Really bad movies that are fun to watch, or really nihilistic intellectual stuff, but not much into movies in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too amazing to write here. Talk to the hand! :P

Teach, Learn, Share

Have some knowledge of plants and organic gardening (got my own little garden here).

Will gladly inform or share knowledge about native plants and animals in the area, as well as the wider environmental issues that are affecting the area. Me, along with a few other people nearby are slowly mutually developing our knowledge of the flora and fauna, as there are many wild things left undiscovered, for their value and properties. So eco-minded people are especially welcome.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Germany, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, France
