Hello there, my name is Edgar. I'm a visual artist, 3d animator, tattoo apprentice traveller and cat collector.

I love cooking, playing music, sharing knowledge and life experiences, scuba diving, climbing trees and rocks, and creating chill spaces that everyone feels accepted and comfy.

I have lived in many places and have managed to get passports in 3 different countries - UK, Lithuania and Belarus.

Im easy going, have stories to tell and am a good listener. I love pondering mysteries of life, philosophy and spirituality.

I'm learning how to be a better human. Produce less waste, create a positive change, work on myself and help others on the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because i want the real taste of my traveling, that you just don't get in hotel or hostel. Meeting local people , learning about their passions and interests, finding new connections that last even after the traveling is over.

Interests

Sometimes I feel that I have too many interests and not enough time to do it all. Recently I started learning the art of tattooing. Found a passion for scuba diving. If I see a cool tree or a rock I'll climb it. If I see a cat I'll probably give it a snack that I carry with me and give it a pet. Cooking is a big passion. Also learning the art of healing massage.
It's hard to imagine my life without drawing and tea.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC

My taste in music is pretty broad. If you look at my playlist you will find Indian classics like Ravi Shankar alongside old school hip hop, psytrance, dub, reggae, jazz, bossa nova, minimal tech, ambient, lofi beats, drum and bass, ragga jungle, trap, folk, country and indie rock.

MOVIES

I love animated films. My favourites are mainly from studio Ghibli, such as Spirited Away, Howls moving Castle, Ponyo and my neighbour Totoro. Also love Makoto Shinkai's - Children who chase voices from down below.
Of course big fan of Pixar.
Also anything heart warming, I love the movie that makes you feel cozy and warm inside.

BOOKS

Mainly a bunch of old and new Russian weirdos like Dostoevsky and Gogol, Sorokin is great too but can be a bit much sometimes. Also love C.G. Jung !
