CURRENT MISSION

I'm traveling all over the place at the moment. It started on the day of New Year's Eve, 2016 and since then I've been trekking around Berlin, London, Paris, Amsterdam and now Asia. No return ticket and nothing was ever planned beyond going to Berlin. Who the hell knows where I'll end up next.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy friendly, down to earth humans. I love the idea of this website and I met some great people through it when I went traveling all through northern Europe in 2011.

PHILOSOPHY

Remove yourself from your comfort zone every now and again for a more exciting life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some incredible ones and my love and gratitude go out to every wonderful person I've met and/or has hosted me since I've been a member of the Couch Surfing community.

Interests

Beautiful noises, writings, sightings.

Music, Movies, and Books

Im music obsessed so waaaayyy too many to list but if you are passionate about these things, I guarantee we will vibe in a good way.

While traveling Asia, I've been playing a lot of the Sublime Frequencies catalog of Southeast Asian pop compilations. Highly recommended are : Thai Pop Spectacular 1960's-1980's, Saigon Rock and Soul: Vietnamese Classic Tracks 1968-1974 and the Cambodian Rocks compilation.

Some genres I will always be obsessed with: punk rock, 70s power pop, glam, 80s new wave, 60s psych, 90s indie rock, 80s thrash, 90s death metal, black metal and doom, shoegaze, ambient, krautrock, late 80s/early 90s hip-hop, garage rock, death rock, goth rock, techno, deep house, dark electro, minimal wave, industrial, EBM, acid house, experimental noise and drone. blah blah blah

I DJ rock n roll records at bars and electronic records at warehouse parties/wherever they'll let me. I have a few vinyl mixes of house and techno to listen to on Soundcloud, if you're into that sort of thing-
