About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying Music - Percussion and Drums

ABOUT ME

I like to think i've got my head screwed on but with the wrong screws. For the last year and a half I've played drums for about the same amount of time than I've slept. I'm loving life, travels, music, learning - you know - all the good stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your heart, follow your dreams.

If you stick with it you'll amaze other people and more importantly you'll amaze yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Leaving a trail of turkish coffee behind me

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only good experiences. My friends got me in to this and, well, it's hard to look back.

I've was living in a flat in Cairo where we host all sorts of interesting folk - from artists to activists, reporters and babies.

Now I'm surfing my way back from Vienna to Istanbul... good times. always.

Interests

Music seems to have taken over completely for just now. I still have time to daydream and travel though. only just...

I also love meeting new and interesting people and learning as much as I can along this path I'm on.
