Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great way to get to know new people. Every new person is a new univere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things... humm life is full of amazing things (actually every day can be amazing). But there are some things I've experienced, that I cannot explain why, but they won't let me go:

- swimming naked in the lake of Sweden, where around you for 100 mile there is no human soul, and being aware, that a man 10'000 years ago would have swum the same way as you do right now.

- at a farm in Georgia being handed an arm long knife and pointed at the neck of a screaming pig, so we would eat in the evening as a farewell feast for us. The smell of death pig doesn't go out of the hands even after washing for half an hour.

- Sleeping in an old bunker with my brother because it is raining in streams and it is getting dark. Before falling asleep having a harsh throwback to childhood when we would sleep in the same bed.

- Waking up in one of those beautiful little, romantic streets in Venice, literally on the street, woken up by a police officer, after having been drinking the whole night with locals.

- Directed several short movies.
