About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having new experiences, meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

Describes myself inside a box? Whoo boy..lemme think about this. :)
Laid back, but busy busy busy. Doing my best to find my way forward, but three steps at a time. Aren't we all?

I can't think of non-platitudes, sorry :)

PHILOSOPHY

Seek not, and ye shall find.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was exposing my couch, and obscenely so. My matrasses see some action as well. However, I longer really have a home since I went to NZ for a working holiday in march 2013, and it doesn't really bother me either. However, I'm looking forward to reconnecting with couchsurfers once I do have a home. And hey, while I'm travelling, I might as well meet new people through some couchsurfing of me own, eh?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had a number surfers over so far. And I'm still on here! :)
Also surfed in Hungary, and it felt like something to be tried again ;)
The best part so far is making friends in far-away places, and visiting them on one of my trips after they've visited me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Akira Kurosawa/Stanley Kubrick/Tim Burton

My music taste is *broad* (some friends described it as 'eclectic, or rather..hectic', but originally focussed on heavy metal.

Books..mostly (eastern) philosophy, some personal development stuff, occasionally world literature (so little time to read the rest).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Err..I once tasted what the white powder I found in the sink of a bathroom on the train was like.

It was soap by the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tuvan throat singing! I can't sing worth much, but I think I've learned (though not yet mastered) the technique of tuvan throat singing; a bit of kargyraa, sygyt and chylandyk style.

If people from Tuva will agree with my singing is a different matter of course, but at the very least I can produce funny sounds ;-)
