About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experiencing life outside of my comfort zone. Travelling whilst I have the opportunity, self discovery, interacting with people I am able to get along with and making good music/poetry from all I experience.

ABOUT ME

I am an artist. You may not find everything about me suitable to the convenient slots of social norms but I just negotiate with those who are willing to give me the same leeway. With a creative mind and high propensity for partying. Not necessarily a club guy but I haven't shut the door on many things. I am sensitive, make of that what you will.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay true to yourself and adapt adequately to your satisfaction yet always leaving a little spare room for the unexpected!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just trying to see the world from "your" point of view and extract meaning within mine so I am happy to hang out, travel, do a music festival, camp and offer a couch when I can! I will always try help you get on in any way I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met people travelling through my city and hung out with them, hosted and thus far it has been a pleasant affair with CS folk.
