Interested about pretty much anything, and getting carried away by everything. But I like it, feels like running constantly awestruck inside a minor hurricane. I'm animator by profession, but have recently decided to devote myself instead to modern circus.

Like Hicks said, it's just a ride.

Also studying sports massage techniques and working video projects on the side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have very positive experiences so far, having surfed some couches here and there, and having hosted some people from around Europe, States and Asia. All in all, for me couchsurfing has brought LOTS of smiles and some very good friends.

Interests

I enjoy walking on rock barefoot, swimming in natural waters, making fire and walking out when storming .. also good spontaneous conversation, doing stuff with people, cycling, many kinds of arts from handicrafts to cgi. I like tea as well. And SAUNA, naturally.

Also I very, very much enjoy using my body. Hiking, diving, climbing, acrobatics, yoga, you name it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Enjoying the warmth of age-old stone onsen (hot spring) in the seashore of Northern Japan, while watching the storm gather in the horizon .. after running like hell to catch once-a-day train from a desolate holiday village now filled with cockroaches.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to pick easy locks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, cooking together, training together :)

I'm also studying sports massage techniques, so I might be able to handle that aching back!
