CURRENT MISSION

Never give up on dreams.

ABOUT ME

Open to all influences I learn from images and conversations. I am trying to satisfy my own goals but am guided to all the new directions by people I meet. I fail but then I win sometimes, and I believe that every experience is worthwhile. Having friends is too important for me, but then I also enjoy going to places on my own because all the good things happen to you when you are not afraid to leave your comfort zone, innit? be open and fearless.

My main thing is music and I want to associate my life with it. I am a singer, producer, I listen to a lot of music and record everything around me. I am excited about new, weird, daring and experimental, excited about voice and about soundz. So I spend my time making music by myself and with other people, also make photo collages, videos, I write and I stay active in every way possible. And every idea is a performance, and everything around or within you can be a piece of art, doesn't matter how bad.

Oh and I also work in a restaurant as a waitress because I love being around people and thinking that each and one of them are leading a life somewhat different from mine. I take the world as it comes, with all its imperfections, doesn't mean shit won't make me angry but I try to reconstruct and rebuild the destroyed. Nothing can break me.

PHILOSOPHY

My experiences and ideas are shaped by the changing environment so personal philosophy for me is never one but many. Though I believe that listening is good, loving yourself is good, criticizing yourself is good but criticizing in a very chilled out manner so that it is almost like a game we're playing. I talk to myself to clarify things I've noticed and then I talk to my friends so that they could unclarify what I've just clarified. You get me - it's an utter chaos most of the time but when you feel your way through life you end up in weird but good places and it is generally healthy when you stop talking, So hey, I'd better shut up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel and I host travelers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in Maastricht and in Amsterdam when I was travelling with my friend. People I have met there were absolutely great, so interesting. And what was special about this experience is that we had a brilliant opportunity to really get to know the place because we were guided by the very people who live here. So luxurious you know.

Interests

Films, music - which is wide a territory but it's hard to specify, right? I read things - more academic things at the moment but I also read books, and interviews, and follow online news journals. I am interested in people who have interests. I like events because these are just so unpredictable. I like improvising.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: Scarface - of course, Dog Day's Afternoon with Al Pacino, Bruce Willis is my childhood hero (funny, but I stay true to my child self), what David Simon makes is great, Rollerball - 70ties, french film Girlhood was the best thing I've seen this year. And then there's a lot more.
Music: Erykah Badu, Earl, Death Grips, Eartha Kitt, Amy, William Parker (and he writes beautifully), FKA Twigs, Jai Paul, R&S label makes me very happy right now, Stones Throw, Tink; and mad tings, I'm mad about music so you won't get me to name it all on here, will take two days.
Books: I've recently read this book 'On Identity' by Amin Maalouf. Good! And then, read Tricia Rose, reading this book on Black Power, read Walter Benjamin and also reading Murakami 1Q84 - first fiction book in a looong time, which is nice. I'm not a big book reader but I do pick up quite a lot of them and read them simultaneously. Favourite I can't recall.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I have done because of this thing - improvisation. I've done theater improvisation, conscious rap freestyle and musical improvisation. It freed my mind and made me feel comfortable within myself and within my surroundings. When I was in Denmark and Norway I climbed the mountains and trees, jumped into the ice holes and balanced on slippery stones. All of that was a big challenge for me because I am not into sports, I'm into arts. But because it tested my endurance, shyt suddenly became super exciting. So that was amazing. Also, when I was younger I travelled a lot with my family, so we visited many places in Europe. Now I am travelling in England from one gig to another, when I've got time, though recently been in Paris.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a thing or two about improvisation and attitude. I can teach you a little bit about this place that I am staying at and about the exciting people here. At the moment I am very eager to learn some new recipes so bring that knowledge with yourself if you fancy (I'm a terrible cook so don't try to come up with something special - better, with something easy to make)! Share? Let's share!
