CURRENT MISSION

Dreaming my dreams again & again.

ABOUT ME

I'm not keen on etiquettes and genres. I'll give it a try though.
I'm a 27 years old mix of nonsense and contradictions. A night owl and a day tripper. Booker and promoter at STAGESURFING EUROPE. Songwriter, Producer and Performer (cello, guitar, synth, vocals) going under the name of TALLISKER. And yes I like whiskey. I'm hard to follow inasmuch as I don't quite follow myself most of the time. I can spend 500 on 1 night and live with 1 for the rest of the month. I'm good at taking care of others, terrible at minding my own well-being. I don't like fancy things just because I actually think they're great. I love guinness cans & cars & cats. And useless things bought from second-hand shops. Building things & Breaking news. The only reasonable landmarks I've had so far is a general tendency to irrational daydreaming and a boundless admiration for the people I cherish.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I'm not
Don't just want it, make it happen (I think it's a Nike's motto but who cares)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing...I think it's a two-way type of exchange, and both have been tremendous experiences so far! I recently created STAGESURFING which enables musicians from all around Europe to combine couchsurfing and gigging experience (www.stagesurfing.fr).

Surfed couches throughout Scotland, Ireland, France and Sweden. Hosted surfers from Ukraine, US, Switzerland, France & Australia.
