Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only had surfers, quite alot, a very positive experience most of the time. This stuff is great! This summer I hope to surf myself, Venice and Basel at least, going for the art. Please accept me all you people, my karma must be good for SOMETHING!!

Interests

Applying paint to canvas, cut&paste stuff, sculpt, chisel, cut, listening to loud music while doing this, late nights doing that, buy stuff, hugging, reading, hungover webnonsense, cooking, play, talk bullshit with good friends, and brand new friends, and laugh out loud in healthy doses. Travel. Babble. Dabble.
