I am a filmmaker travelling across Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- For I’d love to stay, meet, or stride with people from different walks of life and talk about the world and the future of us as human beings.
- Or because life is out there where you’re sitting and not inside the electronic circuits attached to the screens you’re looking at right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've said no to 9 to 5 jobs.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, filmmaking, ideas, cuisines, anything I know.
Because information is the only thing that grows if shared.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My brain‘s metaphysical contents, i.e. ideas, dreams, experiences, stories, questions.
